Anthony Rizzo is in a funk, but Kyle Hendricks may have turned a corner last night. Hendricks would have had a shutout victory if not for two uncharacteristically terrible errors by Rizzo in the 5th inning, the second of which allowed Giants 2B Alen Hanson to score all the way from first on a botched pickoff attempt. Hanson reached first on an error by Rizzo.
The final line for Hendricks was impressive. The righthander allowed just five hits and one walk across 8 1/3 innings with eight punchouts in what was easily his best start of the season.
