Bubba Chandler held the Mariners to one run in 5 1/3 innings to pick up his third victory Thursday.

Chandler gave up nine hard-hit balls, walked three and struck out four yet outdueled Bryce Miller, who allowed three hard-hit balls, walked none and struck out 11. Both gave up five hits, but while two of Miller’s were homers, Chandler’s produced only six total bases. It’s the fourth straight outing in which Chandler has allowed two runs or fewer. It sure would be nice to see him improve on his 21 percent strikeout rate, 13 percent walk rate and 35 percent groundball rate, but he’s getting the job done of late. He’s due to pitch in Philadelphia next week.
