Hellickson (2-2) allowed six runs on seven hits and four walks with five strikeouts over 5.1 innings in Monday's loss to St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Hellickson got touched up for three home runs, the worst a three-run dinger by his counterpart Adam Wainwright. He has now served up seven home runs in six starts for a horrific 2.0 HR/9, and he has allowed at least 20 home runs four times. This has been the Achilles heel for Hellickson his whole career -- he hasn't posted a single HR/9 below 1.00 in his seven-year career. Hellickson is still drawing swings and misses, and his 33:10 K:BB in 31.1 innings is stellar, but it won't matter if he can't keep the ball in the yard.
