CHICAGO -- Kyle Hendricks National League Cy Young campaign continues Sunday afternoon at Wrigley Field.Hendricks makes his first start since nearly throwing a no-hitter for the Chicago Cubs in his last turn. The NL Central champions are trying to split their four-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers, who hit four home runs in an 11-3 victory Saturday.The St. Louis Cardinals Jeremy Hazelbaker hit a leadoff home run in the ninth to end Hendricks no-hit bid Monday. The 26-year-old right-hander struck out seven, walked two and leads the majors with a 2.03 ERA.Its got to catapult him in the minds of people voting (for the Cy Young) right now, manager Joe Maddon told reporters after the game.Hendricks (15-7) is 8-1 with a 1.33 ERA in 11 starts since the All-Star break and 9-1 with a 1.21 ERA at Wrigley this season. In nine career starts against the Brewers, he is 5-2 with a 2.01 ERA -- and 2-1 with a 2.25 ERA against them at home.He prepares himself better than anybody Ive caught in my career, catcher Miguel Montero told the Chicago Tribune. And hes got a pretty good idea on the mound.Behind Hendricks, his teammate Jon Lester is second in the majors in ERA at 2.40. The Mets Noah Syndergaard is third at 2.43.The Cubs are expected to start several of their regulars Sunday after playing mostly reserves the last two games after they clinched the division Thursday.I was going to give them two days. (Third baseman Kris Bryant) definitely wanted back in (Saturday), so I put him back in there. The other guys were fine with it, Maddon said. Youre going to see a pretty normal lineup out there (Sunday).After becoming the first team in the majors to win a division this season, the Cubs (94-54) are also gunning for the best record in the majors. The Washington Nationals own the next-best record at 88-60.We want to have the best record in baseball and we want to have home-field advantage throughout (the playoffs), Maddon said. Does it matter at the end of the day? Well find out. Competitively, who you are as an athlete, what you do, you want to be the best.Right-hander Wily Peralta (6-10, 5.42 ERA) starts Sunday for the Brewers. He is 4-7 with a 4.15 ERA in 12 career starts against the Cubs. In his last outing, he allowed three runs Monday against the Cincinnati Reds for his sixth quality start. Peralta is 2/3 with a 3.50 ERA in seven starts since rejoining the rotation Aug. 9 for the injured Junior Guerra.Milwaukee (67-82) added outfielder Michael Reed from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Saturday after losing outfielders Keon Broxton (fractured right wrist) and Kirk Nieuwenhuis (abdominal strain) on Friday. Nieuwenhuis is expected to be evaluated Monday.(Reed has) been more of a corner outfielder type, but he can play center field, manager Craig Counsell said. So, we need outfielders, really, and we need bodies.The Brewers are 7-11 against the Cubs this season. Paul Arriola USA Jersey .25 million option on reliever Jose Veras.
