Hendricks (7-4) picked up the victory over the Cardinals on Sunday, allowing one run on eight hits in seven innings. He struck out three and did not walk a batter.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks gave up a run-scoring double in the second inning but shut out the Cardinals for the remainder of his start to improve his career record against St. Louis to 7-2. Since dropping to 1-4 following an ugly loss to the Diamondbacks on April 26, Hendricks has won six of his last eight starts, compiling a 1.99 ERA and racking up 50 strikeouts in 58.2 innings over that span. He'll look to continue his string of success in a matchup against the Dodgers on Friday.

Hendricks (6-4) allowed three earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out 10 across seven innings to earn the win Tuesday against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks was solved only by Daniel Murphy, who accounted for all three of his earned runs in this start. Otherwise, Hendricks dominated Rockies' hitters, recording his second double-digit strikeout effort this season. He backed that up with both 21 swinging and called strikes, while also starting 18 of the 28 batters he faced with a strike. Hendricks has worked exceptionally deep into games across the past month, working seven or more frames in five of his last seven starts. He'll look to keep that going in his next outing, currently scheduled for Sunday against St. Louis.

Hendricks (5-4) picked up the win in Wednesday's 2-1 victory over the Astros, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over eight innings while striking out seven.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander closed out May the same way he began it, by saving the Cubs' bullpen. Hendricks has worked at least eight innings in four of his last six starts, posting a 1.81 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 37:5 K:BB in 44.2 innings over that stretch with a 4-0 record. He'll try to keep his momentum going Tuesday, at home against the Rockies.

Hendricks allowed three runs across six innings while not factoring into the decision in Friday's loss to the Reds. He gave up six hits and a walk, while striking out nine.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks left the game in line for his fifth win of the season, but the Cubs' bullpen allowed three runs over three innings to blow the lead. The nine strikeouts are the most for Hendricks since he fanned 11 across seven innings in a start back on April 19. The righty will take a 3.34 ERA into his next outing against a strong Astros offense on Wednesday.

Hendricks improved to 4-4 in Sunday's 6-5 victory over the Nationals, limiting the opposition to four runs on six hits and two walks over 5.2 innings while striking out four.
EDGE Analysis
After allowing only one earned run in 25 innings spanning his last three starts, Hendricks had nowhere to go but down in Sunday's turn. While the right-hander was unable to keep his momentum going and missed out on a quality start, he made only one major mistake on the night, serving up a three-run home run to Anthony Rendon in the sixth inning. He still exited the contest with the lead and evened his record after the Chicago bullpen steered clear of a late implosion. The right-hander is slated to return home for his next start as he faces the Reds during the upcoming weekend.

Hendricks (3-4) pitched eight innings of one-run ball to grab the win Tuesday against the Reds. He allowed just three hits and a walk, while striking out seven.
EDGE Analysis
Joey Votto took Hendricks deep in the fourth inning, but the righty otherwise completely stymied the Reds. He also helped his own cause with three hits and two RBI. Hendricks has now gone at least eight innings in his past three starts. In those three outings, the 29-year-old has allowed just one run across 25 innings with a 17:1 K:BB. The strong stretch has allowed Hendricks to lower his ERA to 2.86, and he'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which is scheduled for Sunday against the Nationals on the road.

Hendricks allowed one run (no earned) on five hits while striking seven through eight innings in a no-decision against the Marlins on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks generated 25 called strikes on his way to his third quality start. He usually limits the free passes, but he has been exceptional as of late, allowing only one walk in his last three starts combined. The 29-year-old has a 2-4 record with a 3.19 ERA and a 34:8 K:BB through seven starts this season. Hendricks will make his next start Tuesday in Cincinnati.

Hendricks (2-4) allowed no runs on four hits and no walks in winning a complete-game shutout over the Cardinals on Friday. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks was outstanding, winning his ninth consecutive start. The right-hander permitted only four singles, no more than one in any inning. The 29-year-old brought his ERA and WHIP down to 3.93 ERA and 1.43, and he'll look to build upon this excellent outing in his next scheduled start Wednesday at home against Miami.

Hendricks (1-4) took the loss Friday, coughing up seven runs on 10 hits and a walk over five innings while striking out three as the Cubs fell 8-3 to the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander put together a 1-2-3 second inning on three grounders, but otherwise Hendricks had little luck on all the balls Arizona was putting into play against him. He'll take a 5.33 ERA and 24:8 K:BB through 25.1 innings when he takes the mound again next Friday, at home against the Cards.

Hendricks (1-3) secured the win by striking out 11 over seven scoreless innings Friday against the Diamondbacks. He allowed three runs and two walks.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks turned in his most impressive outing of 2019 to this point, blanking Arizona through seven frames while receiving more than enough run support to earn his first win. The 29-year-old has held his opponents to two or fewer runs in three of his four starts, although the issue has been his ability to work deep into ballgames. His longest outing entering the day had been five innings versus the Angels on Saturday. Hendricks will carry a 3.54 ERA with 21 punchouts over 20.1 frames into his next start, which looks to come Thursday against the Dodgers.
