Reds @ Cubs: Leake vs. Hendricks (Game 60 Thread)

CHC (32-27): RHP Kyle Hendricks (2-2, 3.96)
First pitch: 6:15pmCT

Hendricks gave up 3 R (2 earned) over 5 innings for the 6-3 win in DC. He pitched well, with the only blemish being a second inning HR to Desmond--and that he only threw 84 pitches and lasted 5 innings. Hendricks faced the Reds twice last year, including in September, when he gave up 1 ER over 7 and got the win. The Reds are hitting .261 against him.

Leake won against Philly at home his last time out, giving up 2 ER over 6. The Cubs have had some success against him.
