Chicago Cubs option pitcher to hit new limit

PITTSBURGH — Right-hander Adrian Sampson did everything in his control to stick on the Chicago Cubs roster.Sampson impressed Sunday, shutting down the Atlanta Braves over 4⅔ innings of relief with five strikeouts, no walks and only one batter reaching base.

Sampson is unavailable for three days because of how much he pitched Su...
