Hendricks takes loss
Kyle Hendricks allowed three runs in five innings and took the loss against the Diamondbacks on Saturday. Hendricks gave up three hits, walked three and struck out two. He was done in by the home run in this one. In the fifth inning, he allowed a solo shot to Alek Thomas before Corbin Carroll took him deep for a two-run dinger. Hendricks isn’t a strikeout pitcher and has won just two of his 13 starts this year. He’s difficult to roster outside of deeper formats. The 34-year-old right-hander is set to face the Royals on the road next weekend.
Carroll hits two-run homer in win
Corbin Carroll went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run against the Cubs on Saturday. Carroll’s home run was his sixth of the season. He belted a two-run shot off Kyle Hendricks in the fifth inning. Carroll is 7-for-31 (.225) with a double, four home runs and 12 RBI in his last nine games. He hit 25 home runs last year and seems to be tapping into his power more as of late. Carroll is hitting .211 with a .638 OPS and 35 RBI on the season.
