Hendricks took a no-decision on Thursday, going only three inning and surrendering six hits and four earned runs. He struck out five and also hit a batter.

EDGE Analysis

After a three-start stretch in which he'd managed to avoid giving up the long ball, Hendricks promptly surrendered three round-trippers over the second and third inning. The only saving grace was that two were of the solo variety, but the homers and a hit batsman all contributed to him getting pulled after only 63 pitches. The pitch count was the second-lowest total of the season for Hendricks in a start, and his exit after three frames was the quickest he'd been pulled from a game all season. One somewhat surprising positive for Hendricks coming out of this abbreviated appearance was the absence of free passes, the first time since a July 10 start against the White Sox that he managed to not give up at least one walk.
