Kyle Hendricks

Kyle Hendricks struggled in a no-decision against the Astros on Sunday, giving up five runs (three earned) on eight hits over his five-plus innings of work.

The veteran right-hander struck out two batters on the afternoon while issuing one base on balls. He kept the Astros off the board completely through the first three innings, but they struck for four runs in the fourth inning including a pair of solo homers from Mauricio Dubón and Jeremy Pena. Hendricks returned for the sixth where he issued a leadoff walk before turning the ball over to the bullpen — and that run ultimately came around to score as well. Hendricks got four swings and misses on 69 pitches on the day, posting a CSW of 28 percent. He’ll carry a 4.83 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and a 55/23 K/BB ratio (82 innings) into Saturday’s tilt against the Nationals.
