Cubs' Kyle Hendricks: Tosses six shutout innings in win

Hendricks (16-8) continued his stellar season on Monday against the Pirates, firing six shutout innings. He allowed seven hits, struck out five, and didn't walk a batter.

Analysis:

Hendricks' start dropped his ERA below 2.00 as he continues to build a convincing case for the Cy Young Award. The 26-year-old has allowed just four total runs this month and hasn't surrendered more than two runs in a start since July 26. His final regular-season start will come Saturday in Cincinnati.
