Jason Hammel claims a stint on the disabled list gave him a chance to regroup. A career-best scoreless streak is proving he’s done more than that. Hammel looks for another dominant performance Thursday night in order to help the Rockies complete a three-game series sweep of the Boston Red Sox at Coors Field. Hammel landed on the DL with a groin injury in April after opening the season with an 0-2 record and 9.16 ERA through four starts. The right-hander is 5-1 with a 2.05 ERA in seven outings since returning, giving him half of his career-best win total from last year and providing the Rockies another big arm to go with ace Ubaldo Jimenez. Hammel has been particularly outstanding in his last five outings, going 4-0 with a 0.78 ERA. He credits his trip to the DL as a major reason for his turnaround. Hammel’s is currently riding a streak of 25 1-3 scoreless innings - a run of dominance coming on the heels of Jimenez’s club-record 33-inning scoreless streak May 15-June 6. He scattered eight hits in 7 1-3 innings of a 2-0 win over Milwaukee on Friday.

Hammel is 0-2 with a 5.50 ERA in eight career games - two starts - against the Red Sox, but can now help the Rockies beat them for a fifth consecutive time in the regular season. Jason Giambi put Colorado in position to record its first sweep of Boston, connecting for a two-run, walkoff homer against closer Jonathan Papelbon in Wednesday’s 8-6 win. The bullpen has plagued the Red Sox during their four-game road losing streak, posting an 0-2 record and 17.18 ERA. The impending return of Daisuke Matsuzaka from a right forearm strain could lighten the load on the relief corps. The right-hander, who was scratched from his last scheduled start June 12 and landed on the disabled list, was 3-1 with a 1.98 ERA in his last four starts prior to the injury. Matsuzaka’s only start against the Rockies came at Coors Field in Game 3 of the 2007 World Series, as he allowed two runs and three hits in 5 1-3 innings to earn the win and set the stage for a Boston sweep.
