Hendriks pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks threw just four of nine pitches for strikes, but he got Charlie Blackmon and Brendan Rodgers on groundouts before Randal Grichuk lined out to end the game. Hendriks has throw three straight scoreless innings to bounce back from a span in which he allowed five runs (four earned) over five innings in late August and early September.

Hendriks saved Friday's 5-3 win against the Athletics, walking and striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.
EDGE Analysis

Aside from a blown save Aug. 25, the 33-year-old has avoided a poor mark since July 23, allowing seven earned runs in 18.1 innings during the stretch.

However, the 33-year-old had stumbled in the five outings prior to this one, allowing four runs on seven hits, though that resulted in only one blown save.

Hendriks (3-3) earned the win Friday over the Twins, allowing one hit in a scoreless inning. He did not strike out or walk a batter.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks was the beneficiary of the White Sox's rally in the bottom of the ninth inning. This was the first time in four appearances Hendriks didn't allow a run -- he surrendered four runs (three earned) over his last three innings entering Friday. Despite the shaky form lately, he's yet to be truly challenged for the closing gig. The 33-year-old owns a 3.26 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 67:11 K:BB while going 29-for-33 in save chances this year through 47 innings.

Hendriks allowed a run on two hits and struck out one in one inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks wasn't at his sharpest, but he got the job done despite allowing an RBI single to Michael Massey in the ninth inning. This was Hendriks' first appearance since his blown save Aug. 25 versus the Orioles, though that was mostly due to a lack of save opportunities, as the White Sox snapped a five-game losing streak Wednesday. The closer owns a 3.33 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 67:11 K:BB through 46 innings with 29 saves in 33 attempts.

Hendriks blew the save in Thursday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Orioles. He allowed one unearned run on one hit while striking out two over one inning.
EDGE Analysis
After Adam Engel dropped a pop fly in foul territory that would have been the final out of the game, Hendriks gave up a solo homer to Kyle Stowers with two outs in the ninth inning to relinquish Chicago's one-run lead and force extras. The closer has allowed home runs in back-to-back appearances, and the blown save breaks a streak of converted saves on 19 consecutive opportunities for the 33-year-old, with his last blown save prior to Thursday coming May 14.

Hendriks allowed two earned runs on two hits and no walks while striking out two across one inning Wednesday against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
The White Sox were likely looking to get Hendriks some work as he had pitched only 1.1 innings across the last seven days entering Wednesday's contest. As a result, he pitched in the ninth inning with a four-run lead and served up a two-run homer to the third batter he faced. Despite the stumble, Hendriks has held opponents scoreless in nine of his last 11 appearances. For the season Hendriks owns a 3.27 ERA and a 64:11 K:BB across 44 frames.
