Hammel went 1-3 while posting an ugly 5.83 ERA and allowed six home runs over his five May starts.

EDGE Analysis

Coming off a career-best season with the Cubs, Hammel has been nothing less than a major disappointment through 10 games as a Royal. Among qualified MLB starters this year, Hammel's 6.18 ERA this season ranks 89th out of 93. The 34-year-old's 4.1 BB/9 and 65 percent strand rate are his worst marks since 2007 with Tampa Bay. If history repeats itself, the righty will see things turn around in June, which has statistically been his best month over his 11-year career.
