Hellickson struggles vs. Orioles: Tampa Bay starting pitcher*Jeremy Hellickson*had his two-game winning streak snapped during Saturday's contest against the Orioles. He was rocked for four runs on eight hits in just four innings of work in a 4-0 defeat. He allowed two runs in the first two innings before*Chris Davis*slapped a two-run single to break the game open in the fourth inning. Hellickson struck out four and walked four in just 88 pitches while his ERA grew to 3.43 on the year.*
De Vries certainly pitched well enough to win Saturday night, but unfortunately did not get much run support. Still, it was nice to see the right-hander bounce back after getting knocked around a bit in his last start. The 27-year-old has pitched well for the Twins of late as he has allowed three runs of fewer in three of his last four outings. However, he has earned a no-decision in each of those outings as the Twins have been struggling to score runs for him. De Vries will look to get himself back in the win column when he makes his next start, which is scheduled for Friday against the Rays.*
