When right-hander Kyle Hendricks jogs out to the Wrigley Field mound just before 1:20 p.m. on Saturday, he’ll be retracing the steps he’s taken at the beginning of 135 other starts at home in a Cubs uniform.

“It’s going to be tough,” Hendricks said. “It’s going to be very unique. I try to keep all my emotions, 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.
