Starter Kyle Hendricks received a roaring applause as he exited Saturday’s 5-1 loss against the Nationals.

Hendricks continued his solid stretch to end the season, going 5 u2153 innings, allowing four earned runs on nine hits with two strikeouts and one walk.

“Overall, pretty good,” he said of his performance. “Fastball command was a little bit off, just missing. I was falling behind some guys in the second, third and fourth [inning] but then locked in a lot better.
