Allows eight runs in loss Hendricks (14-6) was tagged for eight runs across 4.2 innings and took the loss Sunday against the White Sox. He allowed seven hits and two walks while striking out four.
Impact For the second time this month, Hendricks allowed at least eight runs in a start. Home runs did in the righty Sunday, as he allowed three long balls, which accounted for six of the eight runs charged to Hendricks. The 31-year-old came into Sunday tied for the MLB lead with 14 wins, but he hasn't been as sharp this season as in years past. His 4.43 ERA is more than a run higher than his career mark of 3.29. Hendricks will look to get back on track in his next scheduled outing, which is currently lined up for Sept. 5 against the Pirates.

Yields four runs in no-decision Hendricks allowed four runs on nine hits over seven innings in Monday's win over the Rockies. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision.
Impact Colorado jumped on Hendricks early, putting up three runs in the first inning, including a two-run base hit by Sam Hilliard. He settled in and allowed just one Rockie to reach scoring position over the next five innings until he coughed up another run in the seventh. It was his first start since July 21 where he didn't issue a walk, improving his season K:BB to 113:33. Hendricks will carry a 4.09 ERA into his projected road start against the White Sox this weekend.

Looks sharp in 14th win Hendricks (14-5) tossed six innings of one-run ball to record the win Tuesday against the Reds. He allowed three hits and three walks while striking out three.
Impact After a rough outing his last time out in which he allowed nine earned runs, this was a nice bounce-back effort for Hendricks, and it also helped snap a 12-game losing streak for the Cubs. The righty is unquestionably the ace of Chicago's staff, but he hasn't been as sharp this year compared to recent seasons. His current 4.04 ERA would be a new career worst, as he's been below 4.00 in each of his previous seven MLB campaigns. Hendricks still has time to whittle away at that figure, and he certainly will if he pitches like he did Tuesday night. Hendricks is tentatively lined up to make his next start Monday against the Rockies.

Woeful against Brewers Hendricks (13-5) was tagged with the loss Thursday against the Brewers after allowing nine runs on 11 hits and a walk across four innings, striking out three.
Impact This was one of Hendricks' worst starts of his entire career, as the right-hander struggled to settle on the mound and allowed hard contact all game long. The nine runs allowed are a season-worst mark for him, while the 11 hits tied his worst season output in that category as well. He still owns a 4.15 ERA on the year and was coming off a stretch of six quality starts across seven appearances before the wheels came off in this one, however, so there's a chance this might have been nothing more than an outlier and a bad day for the eight-year veteran.
