Adrian Sampson threw seven efficient innings, Nico Hoerner drove in three runs and the Chicago Cubs won their fifth straight, 6-1 over the Cincinnati Reds on Friday.
Sampson gave up one run on three hits, struck out six and walked two in his 97-pitch outing. He matched his longest start of the season and extended his streak of allowing one run or fewer to five consecutive starts.
"It’s all just working out for me," said Sampson, who improved to 3-1 in six September starts. "We’re on a good roll.""Sampson’s definitely put himself in a position to be able to help us next year. I think he knows that and he pitches like that," Cubs manager David Ross said. "Really nice job of controlling the game today in and out."
Hoerner doubled in two runs in the Cubs’ three-run second and brought home another run an inning later on a fielder’s choice. The Cubs, fresh off a sweep of playoff hopeful Philadelphia, have won nine of 10. Jake Fraley had three of the Reds’ four hits, including his 12th homer in the second. Cincinnati has lost four straight and seven of eight.
Relievers Erich Uelmen and Rowan Wick completed the four-hitter for Chicago. Yan Gomes had two hits and an RBI."Just wasn’t a good day all around for me," Ashcraft said.Cincinnati needs three wins in its final five games to avoid the club’s first 100-loss season since 1982.Reds: Siani was back in center field for his first action since leaving Tuesday’s loss to Pittsburgh after attempting a diving catch.
