Jason Hammel pitched seven innings of one-run ball in a no-decision against the Diamondbacks Tuesday.
He struck out six and gave up six hits and a walk. Hammel started in place of Jhoulys Chacin, who had his start skipped due to a case of swollen tonsils. It was Hammel's first start since he was booted from the rotation in mid-August. Expected to be booted back into a long relief role after tonight's start, perhaps the strong outing earned him another look.
