Latest on both pitchers from Rotoworld:
Hellickson held the Cardinals to one run over seven innings in a no-decision Tuesday. It’s the first time Hellickson has completed seven innings since April 21. He was 3-0 with a 1.88 ERA at that point, but he’s 5-5 with a 4.61 ERA now. Hellickson will face the Pirates next time out.
Delgado gave up four runs in five innings Friday in a no-decision versus the Brewers. Zach Davies had the same outing for Milwaukee, yet he ended up with the win, since the Brewers scored twice in the top of the sixth. Delgado pitched well in his previous three starts, but this was the best lineup he’s faced to date. He’s a better bet against the Phillies next time out.
