    Kyle Hendricks goes about things completely differently than Stephen Strasburg does on the mound.

    The kid from Dartmouth relies on a fastball that on a good day reaches 88 mph -- about 10 mph slower than Strasburg's -- and a deceptive changeup. Instead of power, he gets by on precision, guile and smarts.

    Hendricks outpitched Strasburg in Game 1 of the NL Division Series, giving up only two hits in seven innings to help the Chicago Cubs open defense of their first World Series title in 108 years by beating the Washington Nationals 3-0 on Friday night.
