Jeremy Hellickson didn't allow a run but pitched just one inning in Tuesday's loss to the Red Sox. Rays manager Joe Maddon made it clear going into the elimination game that he wouldn't be shy about going to his bullpen early, and he sure meant it. Hellickson got through a clean first inning but was then pulled after two walks and a single to start the second. Jamey Wright managed to escape the frame without a run scoring. Maddon ended up using every one of his relievers and also starter Matt Moore, but it wasn't enough.
