Kyle Hendricks is off to a rough start early in 2020, but nobody should worry just yet because the right-hander has a strong history of performing well after the first month of the season. But that didn’t stop the Chicago Cubs (29-17) from dropping their second straight game on the road to the San Diego Padres (22-23), losing 6-2 on Friday via MLB The Show 20.
Hendricks was facing left-hander Joey Lucchesi, who was on top of his game against the Cubs. Lucchesi went seven innings and allowed just two earned runs on five hits with one walk, and six strikeouts.
