Washington Nationals: Offense backs up stellar Jeremy Hellickson
The Washington Nationals starters finally got some run support, as Jeremy Hellickson twirled a gem to help the Nats get back to .500 heading into the break.
The Washington Nationals rounded off the first half nicely with a 6-1 win over the New York Mets. Jeremy Hellickson led the way, with six quality innings as he looked in complete control.
The right-hander allowed just two hits, two walks and one run over those six frames. He only threw 73 pitches, so may have gone another inning, had the Nats not pinch hit for him during their seventh-inning rally.
