Hammel looks to improve command, two-strike execution

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jason Hammel has one win in 10 starts this year for the Kansas City Royals.

That came May 6, when he allowed one run in six innings against the Cleveland Indians at Kauffman Stadium.

Hammel will face the Indians again Saturday at home. Cleveland will counter with hard-throwing right-hander Carlos Carrasco.

“I faced them earlier this year and fared well,” Hammel said. “I’ll go back and watch the video and see what I did well that night and what I didn’t do well and we’ll go from there.

While it has been three weeks since he has faced the Tribe, Hammel is not fond of seeing the same team over and over.
