Hendriks struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
The White Sox pulled ahead in the eighth inning and Hendriks made the one-run lead stick. This was the eighth straight appearance in which he's picked up a save, and he's allowed just one run in eight inning in that span. Hendriks appears to be over his late-July struggles. The White Sox's closer has a 2.95 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 61:11 K:BB while converting 27 of 30 save chances in 42.2 innings this year.

Hendriks picked up the save Monday against the Astros. He allowed zero runs on one hit and one walk while striking out zero over one inning.
EDGE Analysis
The Chicago closer allowed a walk and a hit to make things interesting in the ninth inning but emerged unscathed for his 26th save on the season. Hendriks has been hittable recently with a 5.40 ERA since July 23 coming into Monday, and he uncharacteristically did not record a strikeout for just the sixth time in 41 appearances this season. Despite the recent troubles, he still owns a 3.02 ERA and is 26-for-29 in save opportunities on the season.

Hendriks earned the save in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader in Kansas City after giving up a run on one hit with one strikeout and zero walks during the ninth inning.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander surrendered a leadoff single to Vinnie Pasquantino, who advanced to third base on a pair of wild pitches and scored on a sacrifice fly. It's the fourth time in eight outings since the All-Star break Hendriks has been scored upon, and he's allowed six earned runs with a 12:1 K:BB during that stretch. Overall he's 23-for-26 in save chances with a 3.26 ERA and 1.03 WHIP, so his positioning as Chicago's closer remains secure.

Hendricks gave up one hit and no walks with two strikeouts over one scoreless inning to earn the save in a 4-3 win over the Athletics on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks' shut-down performance earned him his 20th save of the season. The 33-year-old right-hander has now strung together two scoreless appearances in a row after giving up runs in three straight. Hendricks' 20 saves ties him for ninth best in the majors and he will likely see whatever remaining save opportunities the White Sox can produce down the stretch.

Hendriks (2-3) earned the win during Saturday's 3-2 victory over the Athletics, allowing one hit while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks entered a tie game in the top of the ninth and worked around a one-out Elvis Andrus double to catch the next two Athletics looking on strikeouts. It was a nice rebound for the All-Star closer, who had permitted a combined five runs across his previous three appearances. Hendriks possesses a 3.38 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with 51 strikeouts in 34.2 innings across 34 appearances.

Hendriks allowed a run on a hit and a walk while striking out one in one inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks gave up a leadoff home run to Ryan McMahon in the ninth inning, then settled down to escape the jam with his 19th save of the year. In three appearances since the All-Star break, Hendriks has yielded five runs and seven hits in three innings. The 33-year-old closer went into the break on a 15.1-inning scoreless streak, so his recent struggles are probably just a balancing of his previous performance. For the season, he has a 3.48 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 49:9 K:BB across 33.2 innings. He's not yet in danger of losing his grip on the closer job.
