Earns fourth win Helsley (4-4) struck out a batter in 1.1 perfect innings of relief, qualifying for the win in Wednesday's 1-0 victory over the Marlins.

Impact Though his ERA, now 5.86, remains unimpressive, Helsley has now logged four consecutive scoreless relief appearances after yielding two runs in four of his previous six games. The Cardinals have stuck with the righty as a late-inning option through his struggles and he's beginning to reward them with this string of effective performances. Interestingly, strikeouts have almost been a non-factor in Helsley's recent work, as he's fanned just two hitters in his last seven games.

Takes loss in relief Helsley (3-3) was tagged with the loss Monday against the Dodgers after allowing two runs on two hits in one-third of an inning.

Impact Helsley began the sixth inning following the departure of Jack Flaherty (side) but looked woeful, tossing just seven of 14 pitches for strikes and recording only one out before being lifted. He's on a poor run at the moment, having given up two or more runs in three of his last four relief appearances while allowing at least one run in five of his last seven. Helsley owns an 18.00 ERA and a 3.00 WHIP during that seven-game stretch (five innings).

Takes loss Friday Helsley (3-2) was charged with the loss to the Cubs on Friday, allowing two earned runs on two hits, two walks and a wild pitch over an inning. He struck out two.

Impact Helsley's busy final line underscores how much he scuffled during his one frame, as he labored through 25 pitches to get three outs in the seventh. The struggling reliever failed to protect a 2-2 tie and allowed multiple earned runs for the second time in four appearances. The 26-year-old now sports a bloated 5.59 ERA and 1.60 WHIP following his recent struggles.

Mixed bag of late Helsley, who earned his second hold in his most recent appearance Wednesday against the Pirates with a scoreless two-thirds of an inning, has a 13.50 ERA across the 2.2 innings cov...

Impact Helsley has sandwiched a pair of scoreless efforts of two-thirds of an inning apiece around another two where he's allowed four earned runs on three hits and two walks over a combined 1.1 frames. After similar inconsistency over his first three appearances of the campaign, Helsley had appeared to hit his stride by fashioning a 2-0 mark, 0.69 ERA and 0.77 WHIP across a subsequent 13-inning, 12-appearance stretch; however, the recent pair of hiccups have contributed to his season ERA and WHIP remaining at an elevated 4.91 and 1.47, respectively.

Escapes with save Sunday Helsley picked up a save in a scoreless appearance against Colorado on Sunday. He walked one batter and recorded two outs.

Impact Helsley came into the game after starter Adam Wainwright put two runners on base with one out in the ninth inning. He walked the first batter he saw but wiggled out of the bases-loaded threat with a double play to end the game. Helsley is sporting a 3.45 ERA with a 3-0 record and one save in 16 relief appearances.

Earn third relief win Helsley (3-0) pitched a scoreless fifth inning, walking one while striking out one to earn the win Wednesday over the Mets.

Impact Helsley picked up the win after relieving Kwang Hyun Kim in the fifth inning. The 26-year-old started the year off with a couple bad outings, but has allowed just one run over the 11.1 innings covering his last 11 appearances. He has three wins and a hold to go along with a 3.86 ERA.

Gets win in relief Helsley (2-0) earned the win Saturday against the Phillies. He gave up one run on two hits while fanning three across 1.2 innings.

Impact Helsley got off to a slow start this season, and while he saw the end of a four-game stretch where he didn't allow any runs, it's also fair to say he still got the job done to earn his second win of the campaign. His season numbers remain poor with a 6.00 ERA and 1.89 WHIP, but that's mostly due to a four-run blowup back on April 4.

Settling in after rocky start Helsley has an unblemished ERA and 5:2 K:BB across 4.2 innings covering his last four appearances.
