Hendricks was effective in Sunday's start versus the Brewers, allowing just two runs on six hits across six innings. He struck out nine but endured his eighth loss of the season.
Hendricks threw first-pitch strikes to 17 of 24 batters and induced 12 swinging strikes across six strong frames, but the offense could not pick him up versus Wily Peralta. Hendricks now has an astounding streak of nine straight starts in which he has gone at least six innings while allowing two or fewer runs, and he is the owner of a terrific 2.06 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP. He will look to extend his streak Saturday versus Cardinals.
