Hammel threw 109 pitches and was removed with two outs in the seventh inning with the only player for New York to do anything against him coming up. Curtis Granderson was 3 for 3 with a homer for the Yankees with Hammel in the game so manager Buck Showalter removed him just before Granderson's fourth at-bat.
Hammel improved to 6-2 on the year with the win as he allowed just two earned runs on six hits and two walks over his time on the mound. He struck out six and his ERA is at 5.37.
Hammel had his worst outing of the season his last time out and rebounded from back-to-back poor starts in which he gave up 13 runs over a span of 8 2/3 innings. He will make his next scheduled start Monday at Washington.
