Road Trip Wraps Up 8-3 Following Indians 7-4 Loss to Royals; Three Takeaways From the Setback

3. Hammel Stops Indians Again

Looking at Jason Hammel you have to wonder what it is why this particular Indians team can’t hit this guy. He came into Sunday’s game 5-9 with a 4.74 ERA.

He was 2-0 already against the Indians entering Sunday, and in the latest win over the Tribe went six innings, allowing three runs. In three games against the Indians he boasted a 3.38 ERA and went 3-0.

Hammel held the Indians in check other than a Francisco Lindor two-run homer and a run in the 4th when Austin Jackson gave the Tribe a lead with a sac fly.

The good news is you won’t be seeing Hammel in the postseason, and while it’s tough to see the Indians lose three times to him, sometimes you have to tip your cap to a pitcher who no matter how bad his record is, just has another teams’ number.

That’s the case in 2017 with Hammel and the Indians.
