Impact Lord worked four scoreless frames before Atlanta launched a solo home run in the fifth and six frames to go ahead 2-1.

After a rough ending to August, Lord has been much sharper in September, posting a 3.18 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 15:5 K:BB over three starts and 17 innings.

Bounces back with win, seven Ks Lord (5-8) earned the victory over the Cubs on Saturday, allowing one run on two hits and four walks while striking out seven batters over 5.2 innings.

Impact Lord was crushed in his previous three outings, giving up 18 runs (17 earned) while serving up four homers over 12.2 innings during that span. He was vastly better against a tough opponent Saturday, yielding just a second-inning run and falling one out shy of a quality start. Lord did walk four batters, but he also fanned a season-high seven and racked up 12 whiffs. The right-hander is lined up to make his next start on the road against Miami.
