Hammel was handed his second loss of the season on Sunday as he gave up four runs on five hits and a walk over seven innings against the Diamondbacks. He did strike out nine in the defeat. The big righty had delivered five straight quality starts heading into Sunday, but was victimized for four early runs and didn't receive much run support on the day. Although he has won just three games, Hammel has posted a useful 2.98 ERA on the season as well as a 8.5 K/9, so there is still plenty to like. He will face the Royals in his next scheduled start on Saturday.
