From Rotoworld:  Hellickson rattled off seven scoreless frames to beat the Royals 6-0 on Wednesday. He surrendered just five hits and a lone walk while fanning three batters in the gem outing. He made a great impression in his first appearance with his new team after being traded from the Phillies on Friday. Hellickson improved to 7-5 with a 4.45 ERA in 21 starts. He has just 68 strikeouts and 31 walks in 119 1/3 innings.

Bridwell surrendered four runs on six hits over five innings while taking a no-decision in Thursday’s win over the Phillies. Bridwell struck out four and walked three in the outing. All four of the runs on his line came in the second inning, when Nick Williams smacked a two-run homer and Freddy Galvis a two-run single. This was not the best of outings, but on the whole, he has done a nice job for the Halos this season. Bridwell will bring a sharp 3.20 ERA and 1.24 WHIP into a home showdown with the Orioles in his next scheduled start.
