Cubs pitcher Kyle Hendricks picked up a hard-luck loss Sunday against the Cardinals.
Hendricks allowed one run on seven hits over 6 1/3 innings. He struck out two and did not issue any walks. It was a strong start for Hendricks, but he had the misfortune of going up against Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright. Wainwright gave St. Louis seven scoreless innings, meaning Hendricks was tagged with the loss.
Hendricks dropped to 1-1 with the loss. He'll take on the Dodgers in his next start.
