Kyle Hendricks Looking To Build Off Solid Effort Monday
1 year agoChicago Cubs pitcher Kyle Hendricks is looking to build off a strong effort as he takes on the San Diego Padres Monday night on the road. In just his second start of the season, the veteran hurled five innings of one-run ball, albeit with six hits and three walks allowed against just three strikeouts. Nonetheless, the fact that effort came against one of the very best offenses in baseball in the form of the Tampa Bay Rays is certainly encouraging. The 2016 NL Cy Young winner has struggled in each of the last two seasons with ERA figures just south of 5.00 but he's been solid with a 3.86 mark in two starts this season. He'll take on a Padres offense that sits 25th with a .299 wOBA against right-handed pitching this season.
