Braxton Ashcraft and rookie Bubba Chandler have led the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 9-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies.
PITTSBURGH — Braxton Ashcraft and highly touted rookie Bubba Chandler combined for a three-hit shutout as the Pittsburgh Pirates breezed past the Colorado Rockies 9-0 on Friday night.Ashcraft struck out six with one hit and a walk to win his second consecutive start. Chandler, a hard-throwing 22-year-old right-hander considered the top pitching prospect in baseball, followed with four innings of scoreless relief to get the save in his major league debut.
Ashcraft retired nine of the first 10 batters he faced and quickly worked around a leadoff single by Moniak in the fourth. He breezed through the fifth before giving way to Chandler, the latest in a long string of young pitchers the Pirates have drafted and cultivated in recent years, led by reigning NL Rookie of the Year Paul Skenes.
