NLDS Game 4: Jason Hammel starts for Cubs in potential clinching game

Remember Jason Hammel? He's the guy who looked like a deadline acquisition bust in 2014 but was secretly one of the best pitchers on the A's in August and September of that year. The Cubs re-signed him cheap, and now here he is, starting Game 4 of the NLDS with a chance to send the Chicago Cubs to the next round.

Cubs lead Cardinals in series, 2-1

Time: 1:37 p.m. PT
TV: TBS

Starters: Jason Hammel vs. John Lackey

Hammel had a solid year in 2015. He wasn't a workhorse, averaging under six innings per start, but he did take the hill 31 times.
