Hendricks wins 7th straight start, Cubs beat Mets 2-0

When the Padres struck a deal with the Cubs back in December, Yu Darvish took the spotlight in the dominant pitcher going out to San Diego. At the time being, it felt that Caratini was more of a throw in due to him being Darvish's personal catcher in Chicago. But Caratini has brought so much more to the Padres with his presence and his bat. Victor Caratini spent his first four years backing up Willson Contreras for the Cubs.
