Hammel struck out seven and held the Pirates to four hits over eight scoreless innings Monday to earn his second win of the season. The Bucs were unable to generate a significant threat against Hammel on Monday, and he cruised through the outing while throwing 71 of his 107 pitches for strikes. Through four starts, Hammel is missing bats at the same clip as last season, posting a K/9 above 8.0 while issuing just one walk in 25.1 innings. He's lined up to face the struggling Brewers in his next start Sunday.
