Washington Nationals’ Jeremy Hellickson wanted shot to get out of the sixth in Philly

Jeremy Hellickson tossed six scoreless, giving up three hits and four walks while striking out six of the 23 batters he faced in a 15-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies in Citizens Bank Park back on April 10th.

Hellickson, 32, talked about going up against Washington’s NL East rivals before what was his first start of the 2019 campaign after he’d made his season debut out of the bullpen.

“Just a veteran group” Hellickson said. “They take their walks. A lot of on-base guys, a lot of power all the way through, played with a few of those guys when I was with them, their top three hitters are now their 6-7-8 guys, so it’s a deep lineup.
