CHICAGO — Chicago’s Kyle Hendricks and St. Louis’ Michael Wacha are looking to bounce back from rough starts when their teams play the series finale Sunday night at Wrigley Field.
The defending World Series champion Cubs are aiming for a three-game sweep.
Hendricks (4-3, 3.75 ERA) allowed five runs in five innings against the San Diego Padres for the most runs he has given up since Aug. 14, 2015, ending a streak of 48 starts allowing no more than four runs, the longest streak in team history.
“I felt pretty good,” Hendricks told MLB.com after the start.
