ST. LOUIS — If the Cubs weren’t days away from being sellers at the trade deadline and were closer to the top of the National League Central, there might have been more attention on what Kyle Hendricks has been doing on the mound.
But regardless of the Cubs’ plans at the deadline and the shift in their season, Hendricks has continued to have one of the best stretches in baseball.
Hendricks left Wednesday’s game against the Cardinals trailing by a run, but his teammates bailed him out, rallying in the ninth inning for the second straight night.
