CHICAGO -- Joe Maddon acknowledges that the Chicago Cubs' inability to find any measure of consistency this season has allowed some level of frustration to creep in.

Hendricks limited San Francisco to one run and two hits over seven innings, Ben Zobrist lined a tiebreaking two-run double in the seventh and the Chicago Cubs beat the Giants 6-2 on Friday.
