Hammel was solid Wednesday against the Mets, giving up five hits, one walk and one run while striking out six in eight innings. Hammel allowed only two hits until the fifth inning when the Mets broke a scoreless tie. A single by Curtis Granderson and a double by Daniel Murphy led to Michael Cuddyer's grounder that scored Granderson. The Cubs eventually scored two runs to beat the Mets, but Hammel did not factor into the decision. Hammel's next start will be Tuesday at San Diego.
