Impact Six of the seven hits off the veteran right-hander went for extra bases, but he was far from the only offender on the Cubs and the Brewers slugged six homers in all on the night. Hendricks had served up only one long ball in his first four starts of the season, but Friday he looked more like the hurler who got taken deep 31 times in 181 innings in 2021. Hendricks will carry a 5.47 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and uncharacteristic 10.0 percent walk rate into his next outing.

Allows two hits in blowout win Hendricks (1-1) earned the win Saturday, allowing two hits over seven scoreless innings against the Pirates. He struck out two and did not issue a walk.
Impact The Chicago offense exploded for 21 runs while Hendricks, Sean Newcomb and Scott Effross combined to shut out Pittsburgh. With that, Hendricks picked up his first win of the 2022 campaign. He's had two duds sandwiched between two strong outings to begin the year. Hendricks has allowed just one homer through 20.1 innings after turning in the worst home-run rate of his career last season.

Strikes out six in short outing Hendricks allowed two runs on five hits and two walks over 4.1 innings in Monday's win over the Rays. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision.
Impact Hendricks coughed up an RBI single to Ji-Man Choi in the fourth inning and was knocked out of the game after Josh Lowe's RBI single in the fifth. The veteran righty now owns a 6.08 ERA through 13.1 frames this season. Hendricks carried a career 7.4 K/9 and 2.0 BB/9 into Monday's outing, so his current 17:9 K:BB is fairly uncharacteristic, even in a small sample size. Still looking for his first win, he's expected to face the Pirates at home this weekend.

Struggles against Pirates Hendricks (0-1) tossed 3.2 innings, surrendering six runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out four on his way to a loss versus the Pirates on Wednesday.
Impact The 32-year-old struggled with his command in this one, throwing only 42 of his 78 pitches for strikes. After Willson Contreras gave him a one-run lead with a solo shot in the top of the first inning, Ben Gamel flipped the script in the bottom of the inning, blasting a two-out three-run homer off of Hendricks. He later surrendered three more runs and wasn't able to make it through the fourth inning. The right-hander got off to a slow start in 2021, posting a 6.23 ERA through his first seven starts before going on a hot-streak in the middle of the season, but he'll likely look to turn it around quicker in 2022. Hendricks will have a chance to right the ship in his next projected start at home versus the Rays on Monday.

Opening Day in MLB: New No. 21 patches, NL DHs and Guardians
It's opening day in Major League Baseball and a new season has brought a new lookAPRIL 8, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Looks good Opening Day Hendricks allowed one run on five hits across 5.1 innings but did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Brewers. He walked three and struck out seven.
Impact Hendricks pitched well in the 2022 season opener and actually outperformed his counterpart, 2021 Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes. However, the Chicago middle relief corps couldn't hold the lead, so Hendricks had to settle for the no-decision in a game the Cubs ended up winning 5-4. The seven strikeouts are a nice sign for the righty, who is looking to turn the page after recording a career-worst 4.77 ERA a season ago. He's lined up to take the hill again Wednesday against the Pirates on the road, which looks to be a favorable matchup.
