Kyle Hendricks Scheduled to Face Marlins Sunday, Ben Brown Looks Like Odd Man Out

Ben Brown started Monday’s nail-biter in Phoenix and surrendered one run over six innings, tying him with Javier Assad and Shöta Imanaga for the longest outing by a Cubs pitcher so far this season. Kinda funny that two of those guys weren’t supposed to be in the rotation and the other is brand new to American baseball, but whatever. Kyle Hendricks started Tuesday’s nail-biter and surrendered seven runs over 4.1 innings, making him the first Cubs pitcher to allow five or more earned runs in his first four starts since they became an official stat in 1913.
