MESA, Arizona — Kyle Hendricks looked terrible for the first two innings of Friday’s 5-5 Cubs tie with the Giants.
He hit two batters and gave up five solid hits, including a three-run homer, and one of the outs was a nice running catch by Joc Pederson.
David Ross lifted Hendricks with two out in the second inning, seemingly having seen enough, at least for that inning. Tommy Nance induced a double play to end the inning. But then Hendricks showed up as a pinch-hitter for Nance, grounding out, and then re-entered the game.
