Both Molina and Peña were impressed with Hellickson's poise.
"Just ice cold," Peña said. "I'm looking at him on the bench and I'm like, 'Are you alive buddy? Are you OK there?' You just leave him alone. I like that. I like the fact he's able to keep himself under control despite the situation, despite the stage. I think that makes him so good because he's able to do that."
Hellickson did such a good job keeping the Yankees' bats at bay that the only question was whether he could finish the job.
Maddon let Hellickson try for the complete game but called for Fernando Rodney after Hellickson walked Swisher with two outs in the ninth on his 118th pitch.
