Jeremy Hellickson pitched poorly on Friday, but still earned a victory over the Orioles after allowing eight runs on 10 hits over his 7 2/3 innings.
Hellickson struck out four and walked one in the game. After allowing three early runs, Hellickson was on cruise control after the Rays offense bombarded the Orioles with 12 runs through the first six innings. He ran into trouble in the eighth though, where the O’s tagged him for four more runs before chasing him from the game. He’s been extremely inconsistent on the season and will carry an awful 5.82 ERA into his next start where he’ll take on the Blue Jays in Toronto on Wednesday. May 17 - 10:39 PM

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.
May 11 - 9:44 PM

Jeremy Hellickson turned in his second-straight subpar outing Wednesday, surrendering four runs over five innings in the Rays' loss to the Royals.

Hellickson earned a no-decision in the high-scoring affair, but it doesn't take away from the fact that he allowed nine hits and a walk. A small silver lining exists in that he did strike out five batters in his five innings. He'll face the Blue Jays next (on Monday night) and should maybe be benched in fantasy leagues.
May 1 - 11:53 PM

Jeremy Hellickson fell to 1-2 after allowing five runs in six innings against the White Sox on Thursday.

Hellickson still isn't allowing many hits -- just 24 in 31 1/3 innings -- but five of them have been homers. Blame part of it on a tough early schedule; he's already had starts in Boston and Arlington. His best outing actually came against an Oakland team leading the majors in runs scored. He should get better.
Apr 25 - 11:23 PM

Jeremy Hellickson fired seven innings of shutout ball in the Rays' 1-0 defeat of the A's on Saturday.

It was a dominant performance from the 26-year-old right-hander, who surrendered only three hits and a walk while striking out six. Hellickson boasts a 3.55 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 18/6 K/BB ratio in 25 1/3 innings this season. He's getting better with every outing and should keep rolling next week against the White Sox.
Apr 20 - 10:07 PM

Jeremy Hellickson limited the Red Sox to two runs over seven innings Monday in a no-decision.

The Rays tied the game in the top of the ninth inning but lost it in the bottom half. Hellickson yielded just three hits and one walk while striking out nine. He will carry a 4.91 ERA and 1.15 WHIP into his next scheduled start at home against the Athletics.
Apr 15 - 2:12 PM

Jeremy Hellickson lost after allowing three runs in five innings Monday against the Rangers.

Hellickson walked three and gave up consecutive solo homers to A.J. Pierzynski and Mitch Moreland in the fourth inning tonight. That he doesn't have quite as much life as usual on his fastball is a concern right now, but it may prove to be an early season aberration. It's not time to sell.
Apr 8 - 11:43 PM

Jeremy Hellickson allowed five runs in 6 1/3 innings against the Orioles on Wednesday.

Hellickson, 25, gave up eight hits and struck out just two in the outing. He's had a good ERA in each of the last two seasons despite underwhelming peripherals, so days like Wednesday will happen. Don't get too concerned about Hellboy until these starts become more numerous.
Apr 3 - 10:16 PM

Jeremy Hellickson was lit up for eight runs -- six earned -- in three innings by the Tigers on Friday.

Prince Fielder, Alex Avila and Omar Infante homered off him. Hellickson ends the spring with a 6.75 ERA, but we don't see reason for alarm. He was quite a bit worse last March, giving up 20 runs in 20 innings, and he went on to post a 3.10 ERA for the Rays.
Mar 29 - 5:07 PM

According to CBS Sports' Jon Heyman, right-hander Jeremy Hellickson is attracting major trade interest.

The Rays would probably rather part with James Shields this winter because he's due a $9 million salary in 2013, but dealing Hellickson can score them a better return package. The 25-year-old has a sparkling 3.06 career ERA and 1.19 career WHIP since debuting with Tampa Bay in 2010. And he's not arbitration-eligible until 2014.

Jeremy Hellickson held the Orioles to just one hit in 5 1/3 scoreless innings Wednesday, improving to 10-11 in Tampa's season-ending, 4-1 victory.

Hellickson struck out six and walked one. Hellickson had a bit of an up-and-down year after winning the American League's Rookie of the Year award in 2011, but still finishes the owner of an excellent 3.10 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 124/59 K/BB ratio. Thanks in part to shin and shoulder issues, he tossed 177 innings, 12 fewer than he did last season. Still six months shy of his 26th birthday, Hellickson's future remains exceedingly bright.

Jeremy Hellickson was knocked around in Friday's loss to the White Sox, allowing three runs (two earned) on nine hits over 5 2/3 innings of work.

Hellickson struck out two and walked one on the evening. Though he surrendered nine hits, he was able to limit the damage for the most part, but his offense didn't provide the backing required to keep their winning streak alive. He'll carry a 9-11 record and 3.20 ERA into the season finale against the Orioles at home on Wednesday.

Jeremy Hellickson struck out six in 5 2/3 innings and combined with five relievers on a shutout of the Blue Jays on Sunday.

It's the first win for Hellickson since Aug. 20, though that "slump" was more about poor run support than anything Hellickson was doing wrong. He has a fine 3.20 ERA for the season, good for seventh place in the American League.

Jeremy Hellickson was knocked around in a no-decision against the Red Sox on Tuesday, surrendering three runs on five hits over four-plus innings of work.

Hellickson fanned seven and walked two. James Loney got the Red Sox on the board with an RBI single in the fourth, and Boston added another pair before chasing Hellickson in the fifth. He’ll look to get back on track when he does battle against the Blue Jays at home on Sunday.

Jeremy Hellickson pitched well in a no-decision against the Rangers on Friday, surrendering just one run on four hits over his six frames.

Hellickson struck out five in the game while walking just one. The only damage on the evening came on a solo homer by Michael Young in the fifth inning. He’ll head into Baltimore to battle the Orioles on Thursday with an 8-10 record and sterling 3.33 ERA through his first 26 starts.
