The Chicago Cubs have prided themselves on having a pitcher like Kyle Hendricks on their roster. His career as an MLB hurler has been incredibly good and does not always get the credit he deserves. Three of his first four years in the majors he has sported in ERA of 3.03 or lower and he nearly won the Cy Young award in 2016.
This year has not been as smooth. After melting down in the sixth inning Thursday with several walks, his ERA went up to 3.73 on the season. His command went south and was pulled after walking in a run, his fourth of the game.
