Blows save but still earns win Hendriks (4-2) earned the win in relief Sunday against the Orioles after allowing two runs on two hits across one inning, striking out three. He was also credited with a blown save...

Impact This was far from Hendriks' best outing, as he entered the ninth inning with a 4-2 lead and couldn't hold on to get the save. Instead, the White Sox scored three runs in the top of the 10th and that offensive explosion ended up giving Hendriks his fourth win of the campaign. The closer blew a save for the first time since June 11 and has gone 23-for-26 in save chances this season. Even after this poor outing, his role as the White Sox's late-inning guy moving forward shouldn't be in jeopardy by any means.

Notches 21st save Hendriks gave up a run while walking one and striking out one in the ninth inning Tuesday to record his 21st save of the season in a 7-6 win over the Twins.

Hendriks remains the AL leader in saves, sitting three ahead of Matt Barnes, and he'll take a 2.38 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and dazzling 52:4 K:BB through 34 innings into his next appearance.

Picks up save Thursday Hendriks notched his 16th save of the season Thursday against the Blue Jays after posting a scoreless ninth inning, giving up one hit and striking out two.
