From Rotoworld: Moore allowed just two earned runs over seven innings but took a loss Monday versus the Nationals. Moore struck out five and didn’t issue a walk, but he did give up six hits — including a home run to Ryan Zimmerman in the top of the second inning. San Francisco’s offense backed him with zero runs of support. This game will be remembered mostly for a nasty eighth-inning fight between Bryce Harper and Hunter Strickland. Moore will face the Phillies on the road next. He’s 2-6 with a 4.98 ERA.
Hellickson surrendered four runs in six innings Monday in a loss to the Marlins. Hellickson’s horrible strikeout rate didn’t hurt him in the early going, but it’s taking a serious toll now; he ends May 1-3 with a 7.04 ERA after going 4-0 with a 1.80 ERA in April. We wouldn’t expect a big rebound.
