Hellickson allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks over 6.1 innings in a no-decision Saturday against the Mets. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
It was a tough break for Hellickson, as he was in line to win before Pat Neshek coughed the game away. The 30-year-old hasn't enjoyed the same success as last season, as his ERA sits at a mediocre 4.48 while his 4.57 K/9 is easily the worst of his career so far. He'll look to collect his first win since May 14 (spanning eight starts) when he toes the rubber next Thursday against the Pirates.

Hellickson struck out seven and allowed a single earned run on three hits across six innings of a no-decision Sunday against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Hellickson also didn't issue a single walk, which is the first time he's done that since May 14 -- a span of seven starts. Also, his seven K's were a season high and brought him up to 45 on the season. Hellickson hasn't earned a victory in over a month (May 19 against Pittsburgh), however, so he's probably one starter to avoid if possible given his status as the de facto "ace" for the worst team in the majors.

Hellickson allowed one run on six hits and two walks while striking out four over seven innings but came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
After coughing up 25 runs (23 earned) over 27.1 innings in his last five starts, Hellickson was able to return to his early-season form for at least one night. The reprieve for his fantasy GMs may have been temporary, however, as the righty's next start is set for Sunday on the road against the dangerous Diamondbacks.

Hellickson picked up his fifth loss of the season Wednesday after allowing six runs on nine hits over five innings. He struck out one and walked three.
EDGE Analysis
Hellickson had a great month of April, but he has been terrible since then. Over his last nine starts, he is 1-5 with a 6.89 ERA and a 23:20 K:BB in 47 innings. The Phillies were hoping to flip him for a prospect at the trade deadline this year, but that looks highly unlikely at the moment.

Hellickson was tagged with his fourth loss of the season Friday after allowing three runs on 10 hits over six innings against the Cardinals. He struck out five and walked one.
EDGE Analysis
Hellickson allowed a home run to Aledmys Diaz in the game and has now given up 12 homers in his last eight starts. He has a 6.43 ERA over that stretch with a 22:17 K:BB in 42 innings. The Phillies had hoped to flip Hellickson for a prospect at the trade deadline, but it is hard to see a contender being interested given how poorly he has pitched of late. He faces the Red Sox at home in his next start.

Hellickson allowed five runs (three earned) on four hits over 5.1 innings Sunday against the Giants. He struck out four and walked four.
EDGE Analysis
Hellickson struggled with his control Sunday and tossed 103 pitches despite the abbreviated outing. He has been in a bit of a rut since the end of April, going 1-3 with a 6.75 ERA and a 17:16 K:BB in 36 innings over his last seven starts.

Hellickson (5-3) gave up four earned runs on six hits and two walks over six innings in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Marlins. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Hellickson was much better than in his previous start versus the Rockies last Wednesday, when he was touched up for seven runs over five innings. He had one glaring mistake Monday -- a two-run home run by Derek Dietrich in his final inning -- but was otherwise solid over his six frames. A lack of run support did him in once again, and the Phillies have notably scored a combined three runs over Hellickson's last two trips to the mound. The 30-year-old right-hander has dropped three of his last four decisions after a 4-0 start and will look to rebound in a home start versus the Giants next Saturday.

Hellickson (5-2) gave up seven runs on eight hits and four walks over just five innings in Wednesday's home loss to Colorado. He struck out just two.
EDGE Analysis
This game wasn't played in Coors Field, but you wouldn't know it from Hellickson's end of the box score. Still, games like this have been the exception rather than the rule for him, as the righty's generally avoided big blow-ups. However, he hasn't been offering a whole lot of length or impressive stuff -- Hellickson has only finished six innings four times in 10 starts, and he has a putrid total of 22 strikeouts in 54.2 innings. That adds up to a 3.6 K/9, which is half of his whiff rate from the last four seasons.

EDGE Analysis
Hellickson left his last start after tweaking his back while fouling off a pitch during an at-bat. He faces a tough challenge Wednesday against a strong Colorado offense.

Hellickson (back) reiterated Saturday morning that he feels good and expects to make his next start, Corey Seidman of CSN Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellickson's back tightened up after a swing during an at-bat in the seventh inning Friday against the Pirates. Assuming there are no setbacks, Hellickson will toe the rubber at home against the Rockies on Wednesday.
