ADRIAN SAMPSON
Picks up first win Sampson (1-2) earned the win over Philadelphia on Tuesday, hurling five-plus innings and allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three.
Impact The right-hander wasn't overpowering in the contest -- he notched only five swinging strikes and three punchouts -- but he did enough to earn his first victory of the campaign. Sampson served up a solo home run to Odubel Herrera in the first frame, then kept the Phillies off the scoreboard for the next four innings before yielding a leadoff double in the sixth and subsequently exiting the contest. He has completed five frames and given up exactly two earned runs in each of his past two starts, which could help him stick in the rotation moving forward. Sampson is tentatively lined up to make his next appearance at Milwaukee on Sunday.

In his most recent outing Sept. 7 against the Reds, Sampson took a loss after giving up two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out two over five innings.

Takes loss against Reds Sampson (0-2) allowed two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out two over five innings in a loss to the Reds on Tuesday.
Impact Making his second start and sixth appearance with the Cubs this season, Sampson allowed a pair of solo homers, but that was the extent of the damage. His ERA and WHIP now sit at 2.20 and 1.16, respectively. His numbers at Triple-A Iowa this season paint a sobering picture, in particular the 19 homers allowed in 81.2 innings with the affiliate (homers were a massive problem for Sampson in 2019 as well). He could make another start next week or move to the bullpen depending on the status of Keegan Thompson (shoulder).
