EDGE Analysis

That's certainly good enough to win most days with the Cubs offense. The eight strikeouts for Hendricks was a season high, as he threw 66 of his 102 pitches for strikes, 22 of which were called strikes. The Cubs offense gave Hendricks a one-run lead by the time he departed, but reliever Pedro Strop gave up a three-run homer. San Diego won 7-4. Hendricks will make his next start Tuesday versus the Brewers.
