Hamels gave up three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five through seven innings in a no-decision against the Mets on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Hamels cruised through the first three innings before allowing two solo home runs and an RBI in the fourth and fifth innings. He was extremely efficient, throwing 55 strikes and only needing 84 pitches to make it through seven innings. The left-hander has a 1.00 ERA over his last five outings, all of which were quality starts. Hamels will get his next opportunity Saturday against the Reds at Great American Ball Park.

Hamels allowed one earned run on six hits and two walks while striking out eight across seven innings Tuesday against the White Sox. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Hamels reached the milestone mark of 2,500 strikeouts for his career after whiffing Ivan Nova to begin the third frame. He had a rocky first inning, in which he allowed two hits and a walk to load the bases before escaping on an inning-ending double play. However, he was strong thereafter, continuing his recent stretch of working deep into games. Across his last four starts, he's completed 29 innings and racked up 31 punchouts, while allowing just one earned run. He'll look to keep things going in his next start, currently scheduled for Sunday against the Mets.

Hamels (6-2) tossed seven scoreless innings to pick up the win Wednesday against the Rockies. He allowed six hits and a walk, while striking out nine.
EDGE Analysis
Coors Field was no match for Hamels, as the veteran lefty needed just 93 pitches to breeze through his seven innings. He was also aided by five runs of support in the second inning and three more in the fifth, setting him up for an easy win. Hamels will take a solid 2.98 ERA and 83:30 K:BB through 84.2 innings into his next start, which is scheduled for Tuesday against the White Sox.

Hamels (5-2) threw eight shutout innings, allowing just three hits and one walk while striking out 10 to earn a victory against the Cardinals on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 35-year-old hasn't allowed an earned run in his last 15 frames, but Hamels also had his best strikeout stuff working Friday afternoon. He reached a season-high 10 punchouts behind 22 swing-and-misses. Hamels is 5-2 but this was still a big win because before Friday, he had only posted one victory in his last eight outings. Hamels also has a 3.24 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 74 strikeouts in 77.2 innings. He will face a tall task of keeping this going at the Rockies in his next start Wednesday.

Hamels (4-2) gave up one run (no earned) on two hits and two walks while striking out four through seven innings to take the loss against the Cardinals on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Hamels couldn't have been much better, delivering seven innings on only 84 pitches. Unfortunately, a throwing error by Willson Contreras led to an unearned run that handed the left-hander the tough-luck loss. He has a 4-2 record with a 3.62 ERA and 8.4 K/9 through 12 starts this season. Hamels will get his next start Friday against the Cardinals.

Hamels (4-1) took the loss Monday, coughing up six runs on seven hits and four walks over four innings as the Cubs fell 6-5 to the Astros. He failed to strike out a batter.
EDGE Analysis
It was the worst outing of the season for the veteran left-hander, who threw only 54 of 93 pitches for strikes before getting the hook. Despite the stumble, Hamels will still take a 4.02 ERA and 60:26 K:BB through 62.2 innings into his next start Sunday in St. Louis.

Hamels gave up three runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out six through four innings in a no-decision against the Phillies on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Hamels surrendered the three runs before the end of the third inning, but he wasn't efficient enough to make it past four innings. It was a mixed bag of results as he took 99 pitches to get 12 outs, but he also registered 18 swinging strikes. Over the last month, he has a 2-0 record with a 3.21 ERA and a 45:19 K:BB. Hamels will make his next start Monday against the Astros.

Hamels (4-0) allowed two runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out five over five innings Friday in a win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
The Cubs spotted Hamels a three-run lead before the southpaw surrendered two runs in the third on a home run. He'd exit the game with a one-run lead, and Chicago would erupt for five runs in the eighth and four runs in the ninth on the way to secure a 14-6 victory. Hamels finally managed to snag a victory after taking four straight no-decisions. He owns a 3.13 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with 54 strikeouts across 54.2 innings this season.

Hamels allowed one run on three hits with five strikeouts and three walks across seven innings in a no-decision against the Brewers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The only run Hamels yielded came on a homer during the fifth, but the Cubs tied the game at one in the bottom of the inning. However, that was also the only run Chicago gave Hamels in run support, so even though the Cubs did eventually win in extra innings, Hamels did not factor into the decision. Hamels has settled for four straight no-decisions, but he is 3-0 with a 3.08 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 49 strikeouts in 49.2 innings. His next start should come at the Nationals on Friday.

Hamels allowed three runs on five hits and two walks over six innings Monday, striking out seven and taking a no-decision in the loss to Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Hamels left the contest in line for a win but Pedro Strop's ninth-inning meltdown cost him his shot to move to 4-0. He was spotted a 3-0 lead after the first inning but yielded a pair of runs in the third before allowing a solo shot to Jon Berti in the sixth. Hamels will put his 3.38 ERA on the line at home against the Brewers on Saturday.
