Henderson (2-1) earned the win Friday against the Dodgers after tossing five scoreless innings, giving up two hits and three walks while striking out seven.
Henderson had to deal with a bases-loaded, two-out situation in the fourth inning, but he retired Max Muncy on a popout to end the threat. That was the only stressful situation Henderson had to face over a five-inning outing in which he threw 57 of his 85 pitches for strikes. Having struck out at least seven in three of his last four starts, Henderson has been doing a great job in the rotation while filling in for the injured Brandon Woodruff (shoulder). Sporting a 2.74 ERA through 23 innings over his first five starts this season, Henderson will carry significant momentum into a divisional matchup against the Cardinals next week.
