Hendriks allowed one hit and struck out three to save Sunday's 3-1 win over Milwaukee. It was his 24th save in 28 chances.
EDGE Analysis
Michael Kopech hurled a scoreless seventh but walked the first batter faced in the eighth, so manager Tony La Russa went with his closer for a six-out save, the second save of such length this season for Hendriks. He hadn't pitched since last Tuesday, so Hendriks had the bullets and retired the Brewers on just 20 pitches over his two innings.

Hendriks (4-2) earned the win in relief Sunday against the Orioles after allowing two runs on two hits across one inning, striking out three. He was also credited with a blown save.
EDGE Analysis
This was far from Hendriks' best outing, as he entered the ninth inning with a 4-2 lead and couldn't hold on to get the save. Instead, the White Sox scored three runs in the top of the 10th and that offensive explosion ended up giving Hendriks his fourth win of the campaign. The closer blew a save for the first time since June 11 and has gone 23-for-26 in save chances this season. Even after this poor outing, his role as the White Sox's late-inning guy moving forward shouldn't be in jeopardy by any means.

Hendriks struck out three over 1.1 innings and earned the save in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks entered the bottom of the eighth inning with the bases loaded and the tying run on the on-deck circle, one of the circumstances when a pitcher can be credited with a save. He converted his seventh consecutive save chance and 23rd overall.

Hendriks struck out four over two scoreless innings to pick up the save in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks struck out the first four batters faced before getting help from center fielder Billy Hamilton, who made a diving, sliding catch off a ball hit by Max Kepler. It was Hendricks' 22nd save and fourth when he pitched more than one inning. The closer had not pitched since July 1, so he had the bullets to go two frames.

Hendriks gave up a run while walking one and striking out one in the ninth inning Tuesday to record his 21st save of the season in a 7-6 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander wasn't at his sharpest, tossing only 12 of 23 pitches for strikes as he issued his first free pass since May 23, but he had just enough cushion to get the job done. Hendriks remains the AL leader in saves, sitting three ahead of Matt Barnes, and he'll take a 2.38 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and dazzling 52:4 K:BB through 34 innings into his next appearance.

Hendriks pitched a perfect ninth inning with one strikeout, earning the save in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Having held opponents scoreless in 22 of his last 23 appearances, Hendriks remains one of baseball's elite closers, and receives plenty of opportunities on a winning White Sox club. His 19 saves trail only Marc Melancon (22) and Craig Kimbrel (20). And, with just three walks on the season, Hendriks has managed a fantastic 0.79 WHIP.
