Liam Hendriks got his first win of the MLB season Sunday night, just six months after being diagnosed with advanced stage blood cancer.
Just six months after being diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Chicago White Sox pitcher Liam Hendriks notched his first win since returning to the mound — and it just so happened to coincide with National Cancer Survivors Day.
And win it they did, thanks to a four-run game-ending grand slam off the bat of Alex Lange. The 385-foot bomb not only secured the win for Chicago, but also gave Hendriks his first win of the season.
