Jeremy Hellickson was unable to hold an early 6-2 lead on Saturday, surrendering six runs on six hits over 6 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Padres.
Hellickson racked up eight strikeouts while walking just one. He was cruising along until the sixth inning, when the Padres loaded the bases and pinch-hitter Jesus Guzman launched a two-out grand slam over the wall in left to tie the score. While Hellickson is generating more strikeouts this season -- 42 through his first 48 innings -- the overall results haven't been great. He'll take a 5.25 ERA and 1.27 WHIP into his next start at Baltimore.
