Jason Hammel was lit up by the Dodgers Friday, allowing six runs on six hits and three walks over just three innings. This comes after one of Hammel's best outings of the season, when he held the Cardinals to just one run over 6 1/3 innings last Saturday. But, it certainly doesn't come out of nowhere, as he permitted six runs in his previous two starts and eight runs back on July 23, giving him a hideous post-break ERA of 8.41. It's possible Hammel could get the boot next week when Alex White is expected to join the rotation.
