Hellboy vs the ‘Stros: Jeremy Hellickson got ahead in the count and picked up three fly ball outs in a quick, 10-pitch bottom of the first inning this afternoon in West Palm Beach, as the Washington Nationals played the role of the away team for their matchup with the Houston Astros.
Hellickson went to a full count and missed with a sinker inside to Carlos Correa, issuing a one-out walk to the Astros’ infielder in the home half of the second, but he popped Yuli Gurriel out for out No.
