ImpactRiley went deep for the third consecutive game when he connected off Madison Bumgarner in the third inning, extending Atlanta's lead to 3-0. It was Riley's 32nd long ball of the year and drew him to within three RBI of the century mark.

Still, the end result was Morton's fourth quality start in his last five outings, and his best strikeout total in four September appearances. Morton, who is 13-6 with a 3.53 ERA and 203 strikeouts in 176 innings this season, is slated to face Philadelphia at home next Wednesday.
