Hendricks (7-7) struck out eight, but gave up three runs on four hits over six innings in a loss to the Brewers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

This was a tough one for Hendricks, who pitched very well and very efficiently -- he threw just 78 pitches while going into the seventh inning -- but was sunk by bad luck and bad bullpen work. It's been an up-and-down season, but Hendricks has shown much-improved bat-missing abilities while retaining his strong control, offering plenty of promise for the long term. In the nearer future, he'll face the Royals on Monday.
