Hendricks allowed two runs on three hits while walking three and striking out six over six innings for a no-decision in Sunday's 6-2 loss to Boston.
EDGE Analysis
That's back-to-back quality starts for the 27-year-old right-hander, and he matched his season high with six K's in a game. It's also a good sign that he was able to hold the hot-hitting Red Sox lineup in check. Hendricks is sporting a mediocre 7.07 K/9 this year but is inducing 49.4 percent ground balls. He doesn't have overpowering stuff, but he limits free passes and keeps the ball out of the air. Hendricks won't be as sharp as he was in 2016, but his last two quality starts give hope to his owners that his ugly start to the year is behind him.
