It was the Bubba Chandler show as one of the top Pittsburgh Pirates’ prospects shoved in his last start on Tuesday night. The young right-hander went seven innings and gave up four hits and no earned runs.
Chandler, in two out of his four starts in August, has gone at least seven innings and gave up no runs in both starts.
Chandler was one of many Pirates’ prospects to impress on Tuesday. Let’s take a look. Travel down to the farm and see who stood out.
Indianapolis (55-64)
3B Jared Triolo
LF Miguel Andujar
It was a rough one for the Indy Indians and Jared Jones. Jones went five innings but gave up six earned runs while walking three and allowing eight hits.
Kyle Nicolas had a perfect two innings of work, however. In his two perfect innings, the right-hander managed to strike out two.
The Indians fell to the Iowa Cubs 10-4.
Altoona (53-59)
DH Mike Jarvis
SS Andres Alvarez
The Curve opened up a six-game homestand against the Akron Rubber Ducks and took game one in dominating fashion.
Nick Dombkowski went a respectable five innings and gave up just two earned runs during that span. In addition, Omar Cruz pitched three shutout innings while only giving up two hits and no earned runs.
Jarvis blasted his first Double-A homer and Tsung-Che Cheng continued hitting, finishing 2-4 on the night. The Curve won 9-2 Tuesday night.
Greensboro (62-50)
RHP Bubba Chandler
SS Jack Brannigan
Chandler just put on a pitching clinic Tuesday night. One of the more significant indicators of Chandler’s development was allowing no walks in seven innings pitched.
Chandler has allowed no earned runs in 14 innings pitched in two out of his last four starts in August. In addition, Chandler has allowed eight hits, no walks, and struck out 12.
Bradenton (64-50)
SS Mitch Jebb
LF/RF Rodolfo Nolasco
Bradenton didn’t stand much chance on Tuesday night when they faced Jupiter. Hung-Leng Chang went four innings while giving up two earned runs (three runs in total) and took the loss.
The Marauders’ offense was non-existent, as Lonnie White Jr. and Deivis Nadal were the only Bradenton players to drive in a run. As a result, the Marauders lost 7-2.
