Kyle Hendricks is taking the ball tonight, following one of his good outings against the Cardinals (7.1 IP, 5H, 1BB, 6Ks). But by now, you know the drill. He’s either on or he’s WAY off. Hopefully, it’s the former. But he’s been alternating for about two months straight, so it’s always tough to tell.
In the meantime, because of their win last night, the Cubs cannot be leapfrogged by the Reds in the standings tonight, no matter what happens. So that’s nice. I guess. Go Cubs!
