Hendricks (4-6) took the loss Sunday against the Pirates despite allowing just one earned run on three hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Hedricks allowed a home run to Josh Harrison to begin the game but then proceeded to shut down Pittsburgh for the rest of his outing. Unfortunately for him, the Chicago offense didn't score while he was in the game. Hendricks will take a solid 3.48 ERA into his next start, which is scheduled for Saturday in St. Louis.

Hendricks (4-5) allowed five earned runs over five innings in a losing effort Tuesday against the Phillies. He gave up five hits and three walks while striking out five.

EDGE Analysis

The five earned runs are the most Hendricks has allowed this season, while the five innings pitched matches a season low. The 28-year-old still carries a solid 3.59 ERA and will look to shake off this subpar performance quickly. He lines up to face the Pirates for the third time this season in his next scheduled start Sunday.

Hendricks (4-4) took the loss Wednesday against the Pirates, allowing two earned runs over five innings of work. He gave up seven hits and a walk while striking out one.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks allowed a leadoff home run to Josh Harrison and another run in the second inning but settled down from there and pitched reasonably well, though the Cubs' offense offered little support in a 2-1 loss. The righty only threw 71 pitches before getting pulled for a pinch hitter, so he should be fairly fresh for his next start, which is scheduled for Tuesday against the Phillies. Hendricks will take a strong 3.19 ERA into that tilt.

Hendricks (4-3) allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out seven over seven innings in a win over the Giants on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

He gave up a solo homer to Gorkys Hernandez in the fourth inning but was in cruise control for most of the afternoon, allowing a season low in hits while recording 21 outs on 88 pitches. The 28-year-old Hendricks continues to post stellar ratios on the strength of pinpoint control with help from an above-average groundball rate and strong defense behind him. While the K-rate remains modest, Kendricks has been missing more bats in his last three starts (19 strikeouts in 18 innings). He draws a road matchup with the Pirates next week.

Hendricks lasted five innings in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Reds, getting a no decision after allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits and a pair of walks while striking out six.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks allowed one run in the first and another in the fourth before running into some trouble in the bottom of the sixth inning. He allowed an error, a walk, a single and a double before being pulled for Randy Rosario. It wasn't a vintage performance, though his six strikeouts were just one less than his season high. He's expected to next take the field Friday against the Giants.

Hendricks gave up four runs (three earned) on six hits and zero walks while striking out six Sunday against the White Sox, taking his third loss of the year.

EDGE Analysis

He took a 3-2 lead into the sixth inning, but allowed two more runs to score in the sixth before finishing the frame. As is typically the case for Hendricks, throwing strikes was not an issue, but the White Sox made their hits count in this one. Hendricks now has four straight quality starts (six on the year), but has gone 2-2 over that stretch. He next projects to take the hill Friday in Cincinnati.

Hendricks (2-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Rockies, allowing three earned runs over 7.2 innings. He gave up four hits and two walks while striking out five.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks pitched fairly well in this one but was outdueled by Jon Gray, who allowed just a single run over seven innings. The righty was done in by three Colorado solo home runs, and he's now allowed multiple homers in three of his six starts this season. Hendricks will look to limit the long ball and get back into the win column in his next start Monday against the Marlins, a team he held to just one run over six innings back on March 30.

Hendricks (1-1) got the win against the Rockies on Friday, giving up three earned runs on five hits, striking out six and walking none as the Cubs topped Colorado 16-5.

EDGE Analysis

The Cubs offense stole the show by dropping 16 runs on the Rockies but Hendricks held up his end of the bargain as well, limiting a tough Colorado lineup to three earned runs and cruising to his first win of the season. He'll carry a 4.09 ERA, a 1.36 WHIP and a 19:7 K:BB into his next start against the Brewers on April 26.

Hendricks (0-1) was a tough-luck loser Thursday against the Pirates, as he allowed just two earned runs over six innings of work. He gave up five hits and three walks while striking out seven.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks was good but Pittsburgh starter Trevor Williams was just a little better, holding the Cubs to a single run in his six innings of work. All of the damage against Hendricks came on a pair of solo home runs, and he's now given up four home runs through his first three starts. On a more positive note, the seven strikeouts more than doubled his season total. Hendricks will look to keep pitching well and hopefully get his first win of the season Tuesday against the Cardinals at home.

Hendricks settled for a no-decision in the Cubs' 5-4 win over the Brewers on Friday, giving up nine hits and four earned runs with a walk and a strikeout in five innings.

EDGE Analysis

After shutting down the Marlins in his first start of the year, Hendricks proved a bit more vulnerable against the Brewers as he surrendered the four runs on a pair of two-run homers to Eric Thames and Travis Shaw. The outing raised his ERA from 1.50 to 4.09 and opponents are hitting .283 off him so far this year, so Hendricks will look to get back on track in his next start against the Pirates on Thursday.
