Logan

Henderson

Henderson struck out six and walked only one, but some long at-bats did leave him at 95 pitches one batter into the sixth. Fortunately, the Brewers pen protected his lead afterwards, though things did get dicey in the ninth. Henderson moved to 10-3 with a 2.34 ERA. He probably has just two regular-season starts to go, with the next coming in Pittsburgh.

Henderson racked up seven strikeouts on the night and didn’t allow a base on balls. The lone blemish on his day came on a two-run blast off the bat of Pete Crow-Armstrong in the third inning. Unfortunately, that was enough to do him in. Henderson got 13 swings and misses on 102 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 27 percent. Now 9-3 on the season, he’ll carry a brilliant 2.48 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and a 93/14 K/BB ratio (83 1/3 innings) into a rematch against the Cubs at home on Wednesday.

McCalvy does suggest this could simply be to line things up for the next series in Wrigley Field against the Cubs and might not be a long-term strategy. However, it does mean that Logan Henderson, Shane Drohan, and Robert Gasser will start, in that order, against the Rangers this weekend.

Henderson struck out four and walked two in his 12th straight outing of at least five innings and no more than three runs allowed. He’ll take on the Rangers next weekend.

The Brewers probably could have had Tarik Skubal if they were willing to send Henderson to Detroit, but the right-hander again demonstrated today why that would have been a bad idea. It might not be totally correct to say Henderson outdueled Skubal today — one got good defensive support and one didn’t — but he did come away with the win in the matchup. Henderson still hasn’t allowed more than three runs in any of his 12 starts this year. He’ll take a 7-2 record and a 2.70 ERA into his next start versus the Braves.

He struck out seven. It’s the second time Henderson has allowed three runs this season; he’s given up two or fewer in his remaining nine starts. The loss makes him 6-2 with a 2.88 ERA ahead of a probable start Sunday against the Dodgers.

Henderson gave up a pair of home runs, but both came with no one on to make them more digestible. Outside of the roundtrippers the 24-year-old was outstanding with eight strikeouts against one walk while throwing 55-of-83 pitches for strikes. He’s now 6-1 on the season with an excellent 2.70 ERA on the season, and a chance to make both numbers better is scheduled to come next week against the Padres in San Diego.

Henderson was outstanding in San Francisco on Tuesday, holding the Giants scoreless into the sixth. He allowed just two hits and walked two batters while tossing 64 of 93 pitches for strikes and collecting seven strikeouts. The 24-year-old right-hander has posted an impressive 2.66 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and a 54/9 K/BB ratio across 44 innings. He’ll look to keep it going against the Pirates in Milwaukee on Monday.

Henderson gave up homers to Marcus Semien and Brett Baty, but both were solo shots. He went without a walk for the second straight outing and moved to 4-1 with a 3.05 ERA over eight starts this season. Durability is a real question mark here, but he could be a top-30 SP the rest of the way if he remains healthy. He’ll take on the Giants next.

It’s so easy to be bullish on Henderson. As usual, his changeup was lethal in this start, forcing five of his six total swings-and-misses and plenty of weak contact as well. His cutter was also great in terms of generating strikes and quality fastball command kept the whole thing rolling. The Marlins rarely challenged him and he was cruising before a visit from the trainers in the fifth inning. He’d finish that frame, but didn’t come out for the sixth despite being at just 73 pitches. After the game, he mentioned dealing with a forearm cramp and that the team felt it was best to play it safe. Keep an eye on his status ahead of his next scheduled start against the Mets at home.
