ST.
Hendricks left Wednesday’s game against the Cardinals trailing by a run, but his teammates bailed him out, rallying in the ninth inning for the second straight night.
The Cubs’ offense had gotten nothing going and entered the ninth 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position.
While he didn’t earn his MLB-leading 13th win, Hendricks finished another strong start, allowing two runs and eight hits in 6⅓ innings.
“His personality is a benefit in so many ways in baseball, because of the ups and downs of the season — the different things that come with a baseball season.
“I told him, I’m pretty thankful for what he gives us every fifth day,” Ross said before the game.
