Jason Hammel beat the Padres by allowing two runs in 6 1/3 innings on Friday. He did get some help from five different relievers, who combined to protect a 3-2 lead in the game. It was just the third win for Hammel since the end of April and his second quality start in five tries during July. He's had a rough go of it, but now that he's getting more strikeouts -- 12 in his last two starts -- he might go back to being a useful NL-only starter.
