"My whole goal this spring was to make the changeup an effective pitch, and I think I accomplished that," Hammel said. "I had a little trouble in that one inning, hit some barrels, but overall that went well."
That one inning was the fifth when Hammel was hit for six runs. Overall, he went six innings and gave up eight hits and seven runs in the victory.
Despite the line, Hammel said he is right where he needs to be after making his final Cactus League start.
"Honestly, I felt great about it except for the fifth inning," he said.
