Jason Hammel tossed 5 2/3 innings of one-run ball in the Cubs' 6-1 win over the Yankees on Tuesday.
It was a great bounceback effort from Hammel, who was shelled for five runs in 5 1/3 innings last Thursday against the Cardinals. He fanned six Yankees on Tuesday night at Wrigley Field and issued just one walk, improving to 5-2 with a 2.91 ERA and 0.90 WHIP through nine starts. If he can keep it up, the 31-year-old right-hander will be excellent trade bait for the Cubs in July. Hammel gets the Padres in San Diego next and remains a must-start in all mixed fantasy leagues.
