Against the Chicago White Sox earlier in the week Hammel permitted just two runs on six hits and a pair of walks over seven innings, yet he didn't post a single strikeout for the first time in 2011.
Despite the team's dismal first half of the season, the Royals have actually been hitting the ball fairly well through 83 games, placing seventh in the majors in batting average at .262 entering play on Sunday. Unfortunately, KC hurlers have failed to make timely hitting stand up game after game due to the fact that they have one of the highest ERAs in baseball at the moment (4.58).
"I thought, as expected, he didn't feel strong throughout the game," Boston manager Terry Francona said. "It was hot and he was coming off being real sick. I thought the two pitches, the one pitch he tried to go in on [Domonic] Brown and the other pitch he tried to go away, and it cost him four runs. Other than that, I actually thought he pitched pretty well."
Andrew Miller (2-0) worked six innings for the win, giving up seven hits, two runs and two walks with three strikeouts.
Hunter Pence finished 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI for the Astros, who have dropped 10 of their last 12. Michael Bourn, though, tied a career high with four hits and scored pair of runs in the loss.
Houston will hand the ball to rookie Jordan Lyles, who at 0-3 is still searching for his first big league win. Lyles absorbed the loss on Tuesday against the Texas Rangers, as he was hit for five runs and 10 hits in six innings, upping his ERA to 4.75.
This will be his first-ever appearance against the Red Sox.
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Atlanta rookie Brandon Beachy tries to win his fourth straight decision this afternoon when the Braves wrap up a three-game interleague set against the Baltimore Orioles at Turner Field. Beachy won his second straight start on Monday in Seattle, holding the Mariners to a run and three runs, while striking out nine in six innings to run his record to 3-1. The Indiana native has allowed just two runs over his last two starts and has surrendered three or less in eight of his 10 outings for a 3.04 earned run average on the year.
"He's been able to command his fastball and throw the curveball," Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "Then his changeup keeps getting better and better."
Baltimore, meanwhile, will counter with an impressive rookie of its own in lefty Zach Britton, who has fallen on some hard times after a sizzling start to his big league career. Britton opened the year by winning five of his first six starts, but has gone just 1-5 in 10 starts since.
"[The coaching staff and I] look at the last couple of starts, and there's a handful I could have won easily," said Britton. "We think about that. It's not that I haven't pitched well. There are games that I haven't pitched well at all and deserved to lose. But at the same time, I knew throughout some of these stretches, I threw the ball [well]. It just hasn't worked out for me in the win-loss column."
Mark Reynolds belted a pair of homers and Nick Markakis added a solo shot for the Orioles, who have lost five straight.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
