Hendricks allowed one run on five hits across 5.1 innings but did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Brewers. He walked three and struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks pitched well in the 2022 season opener and actually outperformed his counterpart, 2021 Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes. However, the Chicago middle relief corps couldn't hold the lead, so Hendricks had to settle for the no-decision in a game the Cubs ended up winning 5-4. The seven strikeouts are a nice sign for the righty, who is looking to turn the page after recording a career-worst 4.77 ERA a season ago. He's lined up to take the hill again Wednesday against the Pirates on the road, which looks to be a favorable matchup.
