Bubba Chandler - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Posts best MLB outing to date Chandler allowed one run on two hits and no walks while striking out seven batters over six innings in a no-decision against Washington on Saturday.

Impact Chandler was crushed in his first big-league start last Sunday, but he was given another turn in the rotation and took full advantage of the opportunity. The rookie right-hander didn't allow the Nationals to get a runner on base until the sixth inning, but Pittsburgh didn't score until the eighth, so Chandler had to settle for a no-decision. Nonetheless, this was by most measures his best outing in a Pirates uniform, as he logged a career-best six innings, 18 whiffs and seven punchouts. Chandler almost certainly cemented his place in the rotation for what's left of the season, and he lines up to face the Athletics at home late next week.

Awarded another start Chandler is slated to start Saturday's game against the Nationals in Washington.

Impact After turning in a shiny 2.25 ERA and 0.83 WHIP over 12 innings across three bulk-relief appearances to begin his time in the big leagues, Chandler was handed his first MLB start this past Sunday against the Brewers. The 22-year-old righty was handily knocked around by the NL Central leaders, lasting just 2.2 innings in a 10-2 loss while yielding nine earned runs on nine hits and three walks. Despite the wretched outing, Chandler will be deployed as a starter once again Saturday, though another poor showing could prompt the Pirates to shift him back to his prior bulk-relief role.

Hammered by Brewers Chandler (2-1) allowed nine runs on nine hits and three walks over 2.2 innings Sunday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Brewers.

Impact Chandler made his first career MLB start Sunday, and was greeted with a four-run first inning from Milwaukee. The Brewers scored another run in the second, followed by another four-run performance in the third. Chandler entered the game with a 2.25 in 12 frames out of the bullpen but saw that number quickly jump to 7.36 after Sunday's rough outing. The 22-year-old righty threw 43 of 68 pitches for strikes but generated only five whiffs. Chandler is currently lined up to start in Washington next week, though it's unclear if he'll stay in the rotation.

Getting first MLB start Sunday Chandler will start Sunday's matchup against Milwaukee, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

Impact Chandler's first three major-league outings have been in bulk relief, and each lasted exactly four innings. He posted a 2.25 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 9:1 K:BB while going 2-0 with one save in those appearances. Chandler threw 65 pitches -- his most to date as a big-leaguer -- in his most recent outing Tuesday against the Dodgers, so he may not be tasked with a full starter's workload Sunday. He'll be going up against another flamethrowing rookie in Milwaukee's Jacob Misiorowski.

Last Night in Baseball: Shohei Ohtani Welcomed Rookie With His Hardest-Hit Homer

Nabs second win Chandler (2-0) picked up the win Tuesday over the Dodgers, giving up three runs on six hits over four relief innings in a 9-7 victory. He struck out three without walking a batter.

Impact Entering the game in the third inning to piggyback Carmen Mlodzinski once again, Chandler racked up an impressive 22 called or swinging strikes on only 50 pitches (34 total strikes), but he also served up his first two homers in the majors, getting taken deep by Shohei Ohtani and Andy Pages. Through his first three appearances with the Pirates, Chandler has lasted exactly four innings each time, producing a 2.25 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 9:1 K:BB. If the Bucs maintain that piggyback arrangement, the duo will be lined up to take the mound again this weekend at home against the Brewers -- setting up a potential marquee matchup of flame-throwing rookies between Chandler and Jacob Misiorowski.
