Hendriks (3-1) allowed two runs on two hits and struck out one over one inning, picking up the win in a 5-4 extra-inning win over Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks first attempted to close out the game amid a pouring rain, but the umpires halted the game after his first pitch. After a 49-miniute delay, Hendriks gave up a single to Miguel Cabrera then a game-tying, two-run home run to Daz Cameron. The runs put an end to the reliever's 14-game scoreless streak, and the blown save was his first since April 24. The White Sox went on to score a run in the 10th, giving Hendriks the win and setting up the save for Aaron Bummer.

Hendriks notched his 16th save of the season Thursday against the Blue Jays after posting a scoreless ninth inning, giving up one hit and striking out two.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks had the task of closing things out with a three-run lead and while he allowed a one-out single to Joe Panik, the right-hander shut the door on a potential comeback after fanning Rowdy Tellez and Santiago Espinal on a back-to-back basis. Hendriks hasn't allowed an earned run since late April and has tossed 14 straight scoreless outings, as he's proven once again why he's one of the game's best late-inning relievers. He owns a stellar 1.71 ERA across 26.1 innings in 2021.

Hendriks (2-1) faced just one batter Friday and got him out as he took the win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks entered with two runners on and two outs in the ninth and got Niko Goodrum to fly out to end the inning. The White Sox ended up rallying with a run in the ninth to walk it off, awarding Hendriks the win. The 32-year-old is making good the $54 million contract he signed in the offseason, as he owns a 1.93 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 38:3 K:BB over 23.1 innings and is third in baseball with 14 saves.

Hendriks did not allow a baserunner and struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning to record the save Thursday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks was tasked with protecting a three-run lead and had no issue doing so to earn his 14th save of the season. Since a somewhat rocky start to the campaign, Hendriks has now turned in 15 consecutive scoreless appearances. Overall, he's maintained a 1.96 ERA with a 38:3 K:BB and is among the elite closers in the league.

Hendriks pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 3-1 win over Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old completed a rare feat Saturday with saves in both halves of a doubleheader, and he was able to close out another game Sunday. Hendriks is up to 13-for-15 in save chances this year with a strong 2.05 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 36:3 K:BB across 22 innings. With heavy usage over the weekend, Aaron Bummer or Garrett Crochet (hold Sunday) could get a look for a save opportunity instead of Hendriks in Monday's doubleheader versus Cleveland.

Hendriks earned the save in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Orioles after pitching a scoreless seventh inning, fanning two.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks didn't have problems closing things out in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader, as he only needed 14 pitches (10 strikeouts) to get the job done. The right-hander has gone 6-for-6 in save chances this month, and he's yet to allow a run in 11 appearances during May.

Hendriks did not allow a baserunner in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Tuesday against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
It didn't appear as if Hendriks would be called upon, as the White Sox opened up the ninth frame with a five-run lead. However, Garrett Crochet allowed each of the first three batters he faced to reach base, which caused Hendriks to be summoned from the bullpen. He proceeded to strike out all three of the batters he faced to earn his 10th save this season. Hendriks has been dominant in 19 innings, maintaining a 2.38 ERA with a 31:3 K:BB.
