Bubba Chandler suffers loss in bulk relief outing Sunday
by David Leisering | Pirates Correspondent | Sun, Jun 7th 10:52pm EDT
Bubba Chandler allowed three runs - two earned - on one hit, walked two, and struck out seven on Sunday in a bulk relief role. However, he was saddled with the loss despite the solid outing.
Fantasy Impact:
Chandler allowed one baserunner - a two-out single by Sandy Leon in the second - over his first five innings of work after replacing Mason Montgomery, who served as the opener. However, Chandler ran into problems in the seventh as an error and back-to-back walks with one out loaded the bases and ended his afternoon. Evan Sisk came on and allowed a bases clearing double to Michael Harris II with all three runs charged to Chandler. Despite the loss, it was a very encouraging outing for the young righthander and, in his last four appearances, Chandler has a 26:9 K:BB ratio in 20.1 innings. Overall, he is 2-7 with a 4.91 ERA and a 62:40 K:BB ratio in 62.1 innings. He's lined up to take on the Marlins, at home, on Saturday, but it's unclear what his role will be.
