CHC (28-25): RHP Jason Hammel (4-2, 2.82)
WAS (30-25): RHP Joe Ross (0-0, -.--)
Morning baseball!
Hammel was a stud his last time out, giving up 1 ER over 6.2 and striking out 11 to get the (5-1) win in Miami. He currently leads the majors with his sparkling .90 WHIP. (Not to be confused with our own misterwhipple.) Zimmerman (11-31 with a HR) has the best numbers against him. Harper is 0-10.
Joe Ross is making his MLB debut. He was drafted by SD in the 1st round of the 2011 draft and came to WAS in the three-team Myers-Souza deal last December.
