Bubba Chandler allowed six hits and two runs with two walks and one strikeout over six innings in a no-decision against the Rockies on Friday.

It’s always tense when a pitcher who hasn’t been there best has to pitch against the Rockies in Coors Field. Chandler somewhat stood up to the test in terms of limiting damage, but his ability to generate swings-and-misses continues to be inconsistent. He forced just nine total whiffs and only one came from his slider after he seemed to turn a corner with that pitch last time out. His fastball is incredible, it just can’t be the only thing he uses to try and get major league hitters out. He’s scheduled to face the Mariners at home next time out.
