When right-hander Kyle Hendricks jogs out to the mound just before 1:20 p.m. Saturday at Wrigley Field, he’ll be retracing the steps he has taken at the beginning of 135 other home starts in a Cubs uniform.
‘‘It’s going to be tough,’’ Hendricks said this week. ‘‘It’s going to be very unique. I try to keep all my emotions [inside]. I try to stay on task, focus on the pitching, one at a time. And I’m really going to have to work hard at that this weekend at Wrigley.
