Ian Happ also drove in a run for Chicago which has won two of three. Hendricks gave up five hits in 7 1/3 scoreless innings, struck out six and walked one. Hendricks improved to 13-3 in 25 lifetime starts against his NL Central rivals, his most victories against any team. David Robertson finished for his ninth save in 12 opportunities.
