Helsley earned his second hold Wednesday against the Pirates with a scoreless two-thirds of an inning, his fifth straight appearance of that length, but he has a 10.80 ERA over that stretch.
After similar inconsistency over his first three outings of the campaign, Helsley appeared to hit his stride by fashioning a 0.66 ERA and 0.80 WHIP across a 14-appearance stretch with two wins, a save and a hold. However, a recent pair of hiccups have contributed to his ratios on the season remaining at an elevated 4.91 ERA and 1.47 WHIP.
