Hendricks Brilliant For 8 2/3 Innings As Cubs Snap Skid 온라인카지노

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Kyle Hendricks went as far as manager David Ross would let him. His Chicago Cubs teammates were hoping for just a little more.

Hendricks came within one out of a three-hit shutout for the Cubs, who beat the listless San Diego Padres 6-0 Monday night to snap a season-high five-game losing streak.

Manager David Ross came out to get Hendricks after he got Jurickson Profar to fly out to left on his 116th pitch. Hendricks struck out rookie José Azocar to open the ninth and walked Jake Cronenworth on six pitches before going to a full count against Profar. Scott Effros came on and retired Manny Machado.

Going out for the ninth “is always great,” said Hendricks, who didn't allow a baserunner into scoring position. "Rossy was kind of on the fence with it so I was able to talk him into it. Felt good that first hitter and then a little fatigue set in. Can't walk somebody 6-0 right there. He's knows that. I know that. He's got all the trust in the world in me and I appreciate it so much.

Hendricks (2-3) continued his mastery of the Padres. He struck out seven and walked one to improve to 8-2 overall against San Diego and 5-1 at Petco Park.

The 32-year-old right-hander from Orange County allowed only three singles, including one to Machado as he extended his on-base streak to 19 games.

“You never really want to come out no matter when it is,” Hendricks said. "I also didn't realize how high my pitch count was so it's just good to see some of the results from the good pitches. Can't be the focus, I have to establish what I've been doing and carry it over to the next start.”

Ross said Hendricks “was in control pretty much every inning. Fell behind a couple of hitters there in the seventh, but it looked like the eighth was so clean, it just made a lot of sense to send him back out. He just looked really good.”

Ross said Hendricks knew going out for the ninth that the manager might be out with the hook because his pitch count was so high.

“I had Scotty up for Machado, give him three batters,” Ross said. "If he walks a batter, anybody gets on, if I let him face Machado, and Machado gets on, now I've got a sidearmer coming on. Then I've got to let him go and then he's into the 130s and I'm not going to let him do that. The number's already getting pretty high. I thought he did a spectacular job and we needed that."
