Coming out of the four-day All-Star break, Cubs manager David Ross elected to keep right-hander Kyle Hendricks on regular rest and start him against the Red Sox on Friday at Wrigley Field.

That made Hendricks, who had a no-decision against the Yankees in the last game before the break, the first Cubs pitcher to start consecutive games in a season since Carlos Zambrano in 2007.
