I think if I’m doing this right, I’m supposed to start this out with a joke about the Bears and the Bengals. As if the Bears could score 15 runs.
Since this was a game started by Kyle Hendricks, the good news is that this game wasn’t as close as the score indicates. Kyle worked the first six innings of this one and it was 9-2 after six. Regardless of what outcome you are looking for this July, you wanted to see Kyle continue to show signs this his usual second half surge is in the works. If you are following the early trade rumblings, Kyle’s name is out there.
