EDGE Analysis

Hendricks cruised through the first three innings but ran into some trouble in the fourth, as he allowed three runs in the frame, including one on a home run by Austin Hedges. However, a five-run second inning by the Cubs gave the righty all the support he would need to grab the win. Hendricks still has a disappointing 4.07 ERA after recording a cumulative 2.51 mark over the previous two seasons, but he could be a good source of wins the rest of the way with a strong lineup behind him. He'll look to record another win his next start, which is slated for Friday against the Nationals.
