Kyle Hendricks had an excellent first game (at home) and a pretty rough second start (on the road). And unfortunately, those results, while probably flukey, did little to squash the narrative of his road issues from last season. He’s at Wrigley Field tonight though, so let’s hope at least half those splits (the one where he dominates at home) holds true for one more night.
On the other bump, the Royals send out top youngster Brady Singer, who has started his career with back-to-back two-run, 5.0-inning outings.
