Kyle Hendricks shines in Cubs' dominant win over Cardinals
by Chris Schommer | Cubs Correspondent | Sat, Jul 13th 7:04am EDT
Kyle Hendricks delivered a masterful performance, allowing just five hits and one walk while striking out three over seven scoreless innings in the Cubs' 5-1 victory over the Cardinals on Friday.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a refreshing change of pace for Hendricks, who has struggled significantly this season, evidenced by a bloated 6.78 ERA and a 1.51 WHIP. Despite the strong start, fantasy managers should remain cautious. Hendricks' season-long metrics, including a low 6.4 K/9 and a high 5.22 FIP, suggest that consistency may still be an issue. While this performance could be a sign of turning the corner, it's probably wise not to overcommit based on one stellar outing, especially given his overall season struggles.
