Hendricks (13-7) pitched seven scoreless innings, limiting the Pirates to just three hits while walking one and striking out four in Tuesday's win.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks sliced his MLB-best ERA to 2.09 with his sixth straight quality start Tuesday. The right-handed hurler is now 9-1 in his last 10 decisions dating back to June 19 and has seemingly surpassed the NL's reigning Cy Young winner Jake Arrieta as the Cubs most reliable pitcher since the All-Star break. Although his strikeout rate leaves something to be desired, Hendricks more than compensates for it with the NL's second-best WHIP of 0.98. The 26-year-old has been nothing short of a fantasy stud over the past couple months, and he'll look to continue dominating when he makes his next start Monday in Milwaukee.
