Hendrickson rocked by Phillies

Marlins SP Mark Hendrickson (7-2) survived five shaky innings, giving up five runs and nine hits, to win for the seventh time in his last nine starts during a 8-6 win in Game 1 of a doubleheader Sunday against the Giants. Hendrickson pitched a scoreless first inning and was given a 3-0 lead before San Francisco scored five times between the second and third innings. The big blow was a two-run homer by Aaron Rowand in the second. Hendrickson settled down to throw two scorless innings as Florida rallied to take the lead. The lefty walked two and struck out five before calling it a day.

Marlins SP Mark Hendrickson lasted just five innings Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, but it was enough to earn the 3-2 win. Hendrickson (6-2) needed 97 pitches to get through five innings and the last batter he faced was Chris B. Young, who struck out looking with runners at first and third to end the fifth. Hendrickson retired the first nine batters before Young doubled to start the fourth. After he was caught stealing, Augie Ojeda walked, took third on a single by Orlando Hudson and scored on Conor Jackson's sacrifice fly. Hendrickson allowed the one run, four hits and one walk. He struck out seven.

Marlins SP Mark Hendrickson required 109 pitches to get through 4 1/3 innings Thursday against the Brewers but allowed only one run. He gave up seven hits and two walks, striking out one, but didn't factor in the decision. The game took 3 hours, 19 minutes, largely because Hendrickson struggled. "I apologize to everybody for the pace of play," Hendrickson said. "That was a long game. I wasn't trying to make it long. I've never really had an outing like that. Nothing was working. I was trying anything and everything, and it was a struggle. But to get out of it with them scoring only one run, I'm going to take that as a positive."
