US EditionPrized Pitching Prospect Bubba Chandler Gets 1st Major League Win in 2nd Game with Pirates
Chandler, a top pitching prospect, eased into the majors via bullpen relief, allowing one hit and three strikeouts in four scoreless innings, securing the Pirates' narrow win.
- On Wednesday, Bubba Chandler earned his first major league win, pitching four scoreless innings with one hit allowed, three strikeouts and one walk to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 2-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium.
- The Pirates are using Bubba Chandler in the bullpen to ease his transition while closely monitoring innings after he went 5-6 with a 4.05 ERA in 24 Triple-A Indianapolis starts before promotion to the majors.
- Starter Carmen Mlodzinski opened the game with three innings of one-run ball before Tommy Pham delivered a two-run single after a bases-loaded error, giving the Pirates the lead.
- Chandler, Isaac Mattson and Dennis Santana combined for six scoreless relief innings to preserve the win, and Chandler became one of five pitchers since 1969 with a save and a win in his first two appearances.
- Chandler's pitch count jumped from 40 to 53, and the club says he could join Paul Skenes in future rotation opportunities next year while preparing for his next appearance.
