Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks got roughed up by the Twins on Friday. The right-hander gave up a season-high seven runs (six earned) on 11 hits over five-plus innings. He walked one and struck out one, throwing 54 of his 88 pitches for strikes.
"They came out aggressive and I just wasn't making pitches and just didn't have it today," Hendricks said, per MLB.com. "It was one of those days and hopefully I can just let it go quick and move on to the next one."
The 11 hits represents a career-high for the 25-year-old. Hendricks gave up a pair of runs in the first inning, and never really got settled in on Friday. His record dropped to 2-3 and his ERA increased to 4.28.
He's scheduled to make his next start on Wednesday at home against the Dodgers.
