Frazier finally got the Pirates on the board with an RBI knock off of Jameson Taillon in the sixth inning, trimming their deficit to two runs at 3-1. That would be his only hit in three at-bats on the night. For the season, the 33-year-old infielder is hitting .259/.322/.352 with three homers, 18 RBI and four stolen bases.

The 34-year-old southpaw racked up seven strikeouts on the evening and didn’t walk a batter. He showed no ill effects of the calf cramping that forced him to make an early exit his last time out. Unfortunately, two of the four hits that he allowed left the yard — a two-run blast by Pete Crow-Armstrong in the fourth inning and solo shot by Seiya Suzuki in the sixth. Heaney generated 12 whiffs on 76 pitches on the night, registering a CSW of 30 percent. He’ll look to get back in the win column as he totes a 3.33 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and a 59/24 K/BB ratio (78 1/3 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Tigers in Detroit.

The fastball velocity was there, and there were no reports of an injury, so this was simply a bad start for Chandler. At some point, you have to wonder if the lack of promotion is impacting him mentally. After cruising through the early parts of the season and absolutely earning the right to pitch MLB innings, Chandler has struggled with his command of late. In his last seven starts, he has issued 19 walks and hit three batters in 26 innings. Chandler had just an 8.6 percent walk rate last season and didn’t have control issues at the start of the year, so it’s fair to wonder if the 22-year-old is either frustrated or is trying too hard to impress and force his promotion that he has begun over-throwing.
