Luis Ortiz - Seven strikeouts in lossOrtiz (0-1) took the loss Sunday against the Cubs, allowing a run on one hit and two walks while striking out seven in 4.2 innings.

ImpactIt was a bit of a tough-luck loss for Ortiz on Sunday as he left the scoreless game with two outs and one on in the fifth and reliever Manny Banuelos gave up a homer, crediting Ortiz with an earned run. He fanned six of the first 10 batters he faced and did not give up another hit after allowing the first batter of the game to single. The 23-year-old has allowed only five hits in 15.1 innings across his first three big-league starts, compiling a 1.17 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 17:7 K:BB in that span. His next and possibly final start of the season will likely come next weekend in St. Louis.

Patrick Wisdom - Homers, steals base in winWisdom went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer, two runs scored, a hit-by-pitch and a stolen base in an 8-3 victory Sunday in Pittsburgh.

ImpactWisdom got the scoring started Sunday with a three-run, two-out homer in the fifth. In the seventh, he was hit by a pitch, stole a base and scored. He's now 8-for-12 in stolen base attempts on the season and has been successful in six of his last seven attempts. While he is just 4-for-32 at the plate in September, three of his hits have left the park.

Ian Happ - Steals ninth baseHapp went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base, a run scored and an RBI in an 8-3 win Sunday in Pittsburgh.

ImpactHapp doubled in the fifth and drove in a run with a single, stole second and scored in the seventh. It was the ninth stolen base of the year for the Mt. Lebanon native and his second this month. He continues to dominate his hometown club and has a .316/.405/.558 line in 310 career plate appearances against the Pirates.

Brandon Hughes - Earns seventh saveHughes (ankle) picked up the save Sunday in Pittsburgh, retiring the only batter he faced in an 8-3 win.

ImpactHughes entered the game with two outs and the bases loaded and got Diego Castillo to line out to end the game. It was his seventh save of the season and fourth since Sept. 9. The lefty was removed from Thursday's game after he rolled his ankle but was healthy enough to pitch Sunday after not being used the last two nights. He's likely to have save opportunities down the stretch but the Cubs may also use him in high-leverage situations earlier in ballgames.

Adrian Sampson - Another great start SundaySampson (3-5) earned the victory Sunday in Pittsburgh, striking out three in six innings while allowing a run on four hits.

ImpactSampson faced three batters over the minimum Sunday with the only run against him coming on a Bryan Reynolds solo homer with two outs in the sixth. It was his fourth straight start of six innings while allowing one run or fewer. The 30-year-old has been a regular member of the rotation since the end of June and has a 3.44 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 59:24 K:BB in 89 innings across 17 starts this year. His next and possibly final start of the year will likely come next weekend in Cincinnati.
