Kyle Hendricks Shines But Cubs' Offense Falters in Loss to Giants

Hendricks' dominant curveball performance highlights pitching strength, but Cubs struggle to capitalize offensively.

Overview

  • Hendricks delivered his first quality start of the season, allowing only two runs in seven innings.
  • Despite Hendricks' strong outing, the Cubs' offense managed just one run and four hits.
  • The Cubs have now fallen to a season-worst six games under .500 with a 37-43 record.
  • Hendricks' curveball, refined during spring training, has become a key component of his recent success.
  • Cubs' lack of offensive support continues to undermine strong performances from their starting pitchers.
