Starter Kyle Hendricks handed over a 2-2 game to Carl Edwards Jr. (0-1) to begin the eighth, and he allowed two runs on four walks, a single and a wild pitch. Joe Smith then entered and allowed Grichuks slam.Thats an example of what the team looks like without Strop and Rondon, manager Joe Maddon said.

He has been outstanding.Edwards had allowed just one run over his previous 11 appearances, and his ERA ballooned from 1.42 to 3.66 on Saturday.Smith, meanwhile, has an 8.10 ERA in five games since being acquired from the Angels. The sidewinding right-hander has allowed three home runs, two to righties.I never had a problem with that in my career. I dont know (the answer), Smith said. Aggravating. Coming to a new team, you want to do well.Hendricks gave up solo homers to Jedd Gyorko and Brandon Moss but was otherwise outstanding over seven innings. He matched his career high with 12 strikeouts while allowing five hits and no walks.Just two bad changeups, really, two changeups up, Hendricks said. That was about it.
