The Chicago Cubs' inconsistencies over the last five weeks continued in a 4-game series split against the San Diego Padres, getting shut out twice, including Monday's 5-0 loss. Kyle Hendricks, though, pitched well in his 3rd start back.
“It was definitely a ball — it was in — so I went back to Ross,” Hendricks said, “but he said he wasn’t reacting to me at all, it was off our hitters. I’ve just got to keep making my pitches.”
Hendricks didn’t walk a batter and struck out four in the loss. It was his first time working with rookie catcher Miguel Amaya in a big-league game after they teamed up at Triple-A Iowa for two of Hendricks’ five rehab starts. He complimented Amaya’s work behind the plate, crediting the rookie’s presence.
