It was up to starter Kyle Hendricks to try to play stopper in Game 1 of Monday’s doubleheader against the Cardinals, but the Cubs ace came close as the Cardinals defeated the Cubs, 3-1 and moved the team’s losing streak to four games.
“I was just really upset with myself there,” Hendricks said. “I gotta go out there and kind of stop that streak for us. That seventh inning is just gonna stick with me.”
The Cubs’ right-hander appeared to have things in control after allowing just one run on one hit over his first six innings.
