Despite giving up nine runs in his first big-league start this month, Chandler ends his seven-appearance audition with a 4.02 ERA and a 31/4 K/BB in 31 1/3 innings. He allowed a total of five runs in the rest of his outings. It’s the 3.2% walk rate that’s stunning, considering that he came in at 12.0% in Triple-A. It ought to be safe to pencil Chandler into the 2026 rotation after this, though one never can be too sure when it comes to the Pirates.

Chandler gave up nine hits, walked three and struck out three. The 22-year-old right-hander allowed the first five batters of the game to reach base on his way to allowing four runs in the first inning. Chandler had a 2.25 ERA in 12 innings out of the bullpen, but his ERA is up to 7.36 after Sunday’s outing. He’s lined up to face the Nationals on the road if the Pirates elect to keep him in the rotation.

The 22-year-old phenom has been used exclusively out of the bullpen since his arrival last month, registering a 2.25 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and a 9/1 K/BB ratio over 12 innings. It remains to be seen if they’ll let him work deep enough into the ballgame to potentially earn a victory. Chandler went 65 pitches his last time out in a victory over the Dodgers.

He now has as many career wins while allowing three runs as Paul Skenes does. Chandler took over from Carmen Mlodzinski in the third with the Pirates up 4-1. He gave away that lead over his first two innings, but after he got past the next two scoreless, the Pirates broke through again with three runs in the bottom of the sixth. Chandler struck out three and walked none while throwing 65 pitches. He gave up homers to Shohei Ohtani and Andy Pages. He’ll probably pitch again in relief of Mlodzinski on Sunday.
