EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old righty was pulled after 81 pitches, 55 of which he threw for strikes. The outing followed a complete-game victory and eight-inning stint, respectively, in Hendricks' last two trips to the mound. Hendricks gave up a solo homer to the struggling Ryan Howard in the fourth, marking the second consecutive start in which he'd yielded a gopher ball. His ERA remains an impressive 2.90 despite the loss, and he'll try to get back on the winning side of the ledger next Monday versus the Nationals.
