Kyle Hendricks silences Reds in Cubs' shutout victory
by Chris Schommer | Cubs Correspondent | Sun, Sep 29th 9:33am EDT
Kyle Hendricks delivered a masterful performance, allowing just two hits and two walks over 7 1/3 scoreless innings as the Cubs blanked the Reds 3-0 on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a bright spot in what has been a challenging season for Hendricks, who entered the game with a bloated 5.92 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP. His ability to limit the Reds to minimal baserunners and keep them from scoring could hint at a return to form, but fantasy managers should remain cautious. Given his overall season struggles and a low strikeout rate of 6.0 K/9, Hendricks remains a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues. This performance might not be enough to suggest a significant turnaround, so it's wise to keep expectations tempered.
