Hendricks (14-7) allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits and no walks while striking out three across 5.2 innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks surrendered a pair of home runs -- both to Max Kepler -- that accounted for all of his earned runs. He was fairly sharp otherwise, as he did not surrender a walk for the first time in his last four starts. Even so, Hendricks is ending the season in poor form, as he has now managed only one quality start in his last six appearances. Overall, he has maintained a 4.81 ERA with a 126:43 K:BB across 176 innings.

Hendricks allowed seven earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out one across 3.2 innings Thursday against the Phillies. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks was handed a seven-run lead in the third inning, but he gave it all up just one frame later. Though he didn't allow a home run, Hendricks surrendered two doubles, four singles and also hit two batters in the fourth inning alone. Hendricks has now surrendered at least four earned runs in five of his last eight appearances, although he has recorded quality starts in the other three outings. As a result of this poor stretch, Hendricks has a 4.81 ERA across 170.1 innings on the campaign.

Hendricks allowed six runs on five hits and three walks with one strikeout in 4.1 innings versus Pittsburgh on Saturday. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander looked destined for a loss until the Cubs made a three-run rally for the walkoff win in the ninth inning. Hendricks has still struggled mightily lately, allowing four or more runs in four of his last five starts. He's seen his ERA inflate to 4.65 with a 1.36 WHIP and 118:38 K:BB across 160.2 innings overall. The 31-year-old could have trouble snapping his skid during next weekend's three-game series versus San Francisco.

Hendricks (14-6) was tagged for eight runs across 4.2 innings and took the loss Sunday against the White Sox. He allowed seven hits and two walks while striking out four.

EDGE Analysis

For the second time this month, Hendricks allowed at least eight runs in a start. Home runs did in the righty Sunday, as he allowed three long balls, which accounted for six of the eight runs charged to Hendricks. The 31-year-old came into Sunday tied for the MLB lead with 14 wins, but he hasn't been as sharp this season as in years past. His 4.43 ERA is more than a run higher than his career mark of 3.29. Hendricks will look to get back on track in his next scheduled outing, which is currently lined up for Sept. 5 against the Pirates.

Hendricks allowed four runs on nine hits over seven innings in Monday's win over the Rockies. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Colorado jumped on Hendricks early, putting up three runs in the first inning, including a two-run base hit by Sam Hilliard. He settled in and allowed just one Rockie reach scoring position over the next five innings until he coughed up another run in the seventh. It was his first start since July 21 where he didn't issue a walk, improving his season K:BB to 113:33. Hendricks will carry a 4.09 ERA into his projected road start against the White Sox this weekend.

Hendricks (14-5) tossed six innings of one-run ball to record the win Tuesday against the Reds. He allowed three hits and three walks while striking out three.

EDGE Analysis

After a rough outing his last time out in which he allowed nine earned runs, this was a nice bounceback effort for Hendricks, and it also helped snap a 12-game losing streak for the Cubs. The righty is unquestionably the ace of Chicago's staff, but he hasn't been as sharp this year compared to recent seasons. His current 4.04 ERA would be a new career worst, as he's been below 4.00 in each of his previous seven MLB campaigns. Hendricks still has time to whittle away at that figure, and he certainly will if he pitches like he did Tuesday night. Hendricks is slated to make his next start Monday against the Rockies.

Hendricks (13-5) was tagged with the loss Thursday against the Brewers after allowing nine runs on 11 hits and a walk across four innings, striking out three.

EDGE Analysis

This was one of Hendricks' worst starts of his entire career, as the right-hander struggled to settle on the mound and allowed hard contact all game long. The nine runs allowed are a season-worst mark for him, while the 11 hits tied his worst season output in that category as well. He still owns a 4.15 ERA on the year and was coming off a stretch of six quality starts across seven appearances before the wheels came off in this one, however, so there's a chance this might have been nothing more than an outlier and a bad day for the eight-year veteran.

Hendricks allowed two runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out seven in six innings in Friday's loss to the White Sox. He didn't factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks has now recorded six quality starts in his last seven outings, and he ranks second in the majors with 17 quality starts in 2021. The only runs he allowed Friday came when he allowed four singles in the fourth inning, but he was forced to settle for the no-decision in the low-scoring game. The right-hander tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Brewers on Wednesday.

Hendricks (13-4) picked up the win in Saturday's 6-3 victory over the Nationals, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over seven innings. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander wasn't fazed by the depleted lineup behind him following a busy trade deadline for the Cubs, as he tossed 71 of 100 pitches for strikes en route to his fifth quality start in his last six outings and his 16th of the season. Hendricks will take a 3.71 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 94:26 K:BB through 128.2 innings into his next start.

Hendricks didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Reds after allowing five runs on nine hits and two walks while fanning four across 4.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks entered Monday's contest carrying a 2.19 ERA in three July starts, but the wheels came off in this one. He wasn't comfortable at any point of the game, resulting in the first time in his last 14 starts that he couldn't complete at least five innings. The right-hander will attempt to deliver a bounce-back performance in his next start, scheduled for the upcoming weekend series against the Nationals on the road.
