Hendricks (4-4) allowed one earned run on six hits and two walks while striking out six across six innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks allowed seven baserunners through four innings, but limited the Pirates to just two extra-base hits to avoid any major damage. Despite the strong performance, Hendricks did allow a solo home run to Colin Moran, and has now surrendered at least one long ball in each of his last four starts. Despite that, Hendricks maintains a solid 3.78 ERA with a 40:6 K:BB across 50 innings this season. He's in line to draw his next start Monday against St. Louis.

Hendricks (3-4) allowed five runs on 10 hits over six innings in a loss to the Reds on Friday. He struck out six and did not issue a walk.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks' two worst starts this season have come in Great American Ball Park; he's allowed 11 of his 20 total earned runs and three of his six homers in those two starts. He had to deal with some rain in addition to the small dimensions Friday, and Hendricks now has an ERA north of 4.00 on the season after beginning his year with an Opening Day shutout. However, Hendricks is still pretty much in line with expectations and things will get a bit easier with a road start in Pittsburgh next up, followed by a home start against the Cardinals.

Hendricks (3-3) allowed three earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out three across 5.1 innings to take the loss Saturday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks surrendered two home runs, one in the second inning and the other to lead off the sixth inning. He was fairly strong in between, allowing only one other extra-base hit. Despite taking consecutive losses, Hendricks still maintains a 3.55 ERA and impressive 28:4 K:BB across 38 innings this season. He's penciled in to take his next turn through the rotation Friday at Cincinnati.

Hendricks (3-2) took the loss in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against the Cardinals after allowing three runs on three hits and a walk while striking out five over 6.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks surrendered a solo blast in the third inning, and he was touched up for two more runs in the top of the seventh following a Brad Miller double with the bases loaded. Rowan Wick gave up the double, however, Hendricks was responsible for the two runs that crossed the plate. The veteran right-hander has been solid so far this season, sitting with a 3.31 ERA and 0.92 WHIP with a 25:3 K:BB across 32.2 frames.

Hendricks (3-1) allowed one earned run on seven hits and no walks while striking out five across six innings to earn the win Wednesday against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks faced more than four Cleveland hitters in only one inning to put together his third quality start of the campaign. His only trouble came in the fifth frame, when he allowed three singles and the only run against him to cross the plate. Through 26.1 innings this season, Hendricks maintains a 3.08 ERA and a stellar 20:2 K:BB. He's currently in line to make his fifth start of the campaign Monday against St. Louis.

Hendricks is scheduled to start Wednesday against Cleveland, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks was originally scheduled to pitch this past Sunday against the Cardinals, but the entire series was wiped out due to a coronavirus outbreak in the St. Louis organization. The righty will now take the mound Wednesday, which will be eight days after his most recent start. Hendricks has had two good outings this season sandwiched around one bad start, and he'll carry a 3.54 ERA and 0.93 WHIP into his next trip to the hill.

Kendricks (2-1) earned the win against Kansas City on Tuesday, tossing seven innings and allowing two runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out three.

EDGE Analysis

Kendricks followed a rough second outing with an effective performance in his third start Tuesday, tossing 62 of 94 pitches for strikes and allowing only one extra-base hit among the seven base knocks against him. The right-hander was quiet on the strikeout front, but he didn't allow any free passes and emerged with his second win -- and second quality start -- of the campaign. Hendricks' next start is scheduled for Sunday on the road against St. Louis.

Hendricks (1-1) allowed six earned runs on seven hits across 4.1 innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Reds. He struck out three and walked two.

EDGE Analysis

This outing was starkly different from Opening Day, when Hendricks threw a complete-game shutout with nine strikeouts. He was hit hardest in the fifth inning Wednesday, when the Reds scored seven times and chased him from the game. The righty's track record suggests he's closer to the pitcher he was in his first start versus his second start, so chalk this one up as a dud on the road in a hitter's park. Hendricks will take the hill again Monday against a less formidable Kansas City lineup.

Hendricks threw a shutout against the Brewers on Opening Day. He allowed three hits, struck out nine and did not issue a walk.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks did more than enough to justify the Opening Day nod over Yu Darvish with this masterful performance. As noted by Jordan Bastian of MLB.com, Hendricks had 19 swinging strikes Friday, the second-highest single-game total of his career. The changeup had hitters out in front and his command was sharp. Hendricks lines up for a road start in Cincinnati next week before a two-step the week of Aug. 3.

Hendricks said he worked on his curveball while play was suspended due to the coronavirus, and he could use the pitch more in 2020, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks worked on his grip over the past few months, and the work has apparently paid off, as the righty noted that "it's the best my curveball's felt." In his final summer camp tune-up Sunday against the White Sox, he used the pitch 14 percent of the time, as compared to 9.5 percent of the time in 2019. Hendricks has primarily featured a sinker and changeup during his time in the majors, but increased confidence in his curveball could lead to an uptick in usage.
