Hellickson was charged with eight runs, six earned, in five innings. He gave up nine hits including two doubles, a triple and Perez's homer. He also walked one and hit a batter.
"That [third] inning had everything. It was good to stay out there a little bit and pitch tired," said Hellickson, who threw 87 pitches. "You don't want to do it giving up runs, that's for sure. But I felt good. They hit some good pitches, and I left some pitches up. I've just got to figure out a way to limit the damage."
Said Phillies manager Pete Mackanin: "That wasn't fun. You always have one or two of those games in the spring, and this was one of them."
