Hendricks (8-4) allowed two earned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out two across six innings, earning the win Saturday over the Cardinals.
Hendricks was inconsistent to begin the season, but he has posted a quality start and a win in his last six appearances. The long ball has still been an issue for him, as he allowed two more home runs Saturday, bringing the total to eight homers in his last four starts. The 31-year-old has lowered his ERA to 4.46 in 74.2 innings, but he tied a season-low two strikeouts against the Cardinals and has a low 7.0 K/9 for the season. His next start is scheduled for Thursday against the Mets.
