The Cubs are off today, so Brett took some time this morning to examine Kyle Hendricks’ terrific start on Wednesday.

“On the game, Hendricks went 5.2 innings, allowing just one earned run on two hits and one walk while striking out eight. He was a maybe-coulda-been double-play away from it being an even six scoreless.

“By every measure, the appearance was Hendricks’ best of the season, and his best start since … you guessed it, his start out in San Francisco last year. The near no-hitter. Dude must really like pitching against the Giants.”
