Kyle Hendricks and the Cubs bullpen combined for a five-hit shutout, and Chicago rolled past the Texas Rangers 6-0 from Wrigley Field. Hendricks allowed just three hits to improve to 8-and-6 overall, and lower his team-leading ERA to 2.41. Addison Russell and Matt Szczur each drove in a pair as the Cubs match the Rangers with a Major League-best 54 victories.
Martin Perez falls to 7-and-6 after giving up six runs on six hits.
Game 2 of the series is this afternoon at Wrigley Field.
