Jason Hammel was a tough-luck loser Monday, permitting just two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings against the Yankees. He struck out five, with the lone blemish coming in the form of an Eric Chavez homer. It's yet another impressive outing from Hammel, especially considering the lineup and venue. He finishes April with a surprising a 1.97 ERA and 1.03 WHIP and is looking like a legit mixed league play. Hammel will have a tough matchup against either the Red Sox or Rangers the next time out.
