Bubba Chandler yielded five runs in 6 1/3 innings Tuesday in a loss to the Phillies.

That’s pretty much the same line Braxton Ashcraft had in a win for the Pirates last night, but Ashcraft wasn’t matched up with Cristopher Sánchez and this turned out to be an 8-0 loss for the Pirates. Chandler struck out six, but he managed just seven whiffs on 51 swings and a 22 percent CSW. It still seems like Chandler, who topped out at 101.5 mph tonight, will find another gear at some point, but there isn’t much to be encouraged about in his numbers. He’ll likely face the Nationals on Sunday.
