Hendricks allowed just one run across six strong innings in Sunday's win over the Pirates, striking out a career-high 12 and walking not a single batter.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks was excellent Sunday, as he threw 20 of 26 first-pitch strikes, pounded the zone at a 67% clip and likely was only pulled after six frames due to his elevated pitch count. Hendricks is now 5-6 on the season, but his strong 2.94 ERA and sharp 1.02 WHIP indicate that more wins are on the horizon. Further, his K/9 rate is up to 8.2 for the season, but he has made strides as a strikeout pitcher this year and could have even more to offer in that regard. He will look to keep it rolling Friday at the Marlins.
