PITTSBURGH (AP) \u2014 Bubba Chandler allowed three hits in six innings, Jake Mangum had three hits and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the New York Mets 9-0 on Saturday night to end a four-game skid.<\/p>\n
Chandler (5-8) struck out five and walked one on 85 pitches \u2014 58 for strikes. The 23-year-old former top prospect has surrendered seven earned runs in 26 2\/3 innings over his past five starts.<\/p>\n
Mangum had two doubles, a single and a stolen base. Nick Gonzales drove in three runs for the Pirates, who hadn\u2019t scored more than four in seven straight games since an 8-7 loss at the Reds on July 31.<\/p>\n
Robert Stock (0-2) lasted three innings for the Mets, being charged for eight runs on nine hits and five walks with four strikeouts.<\/p>\n
Mangum led off the first with a double off the right-field wall and scored from third when Gonzales grounded back to Stock with the bases loaded. Ronny Simon then slipped a two-out double just inside third base and down the line, tacking on two more.<\/p>\n
In the third, Simon reached on a well-placed bunt, stole second and scored on a bloop single to right from Jacob Gonzalez.<\/p>\n
Pittsburgh added four runs before recording an out in the fourth. Mangum lined an RBI double to left and scored on a wild pitch with the bases loaded. Stock walked Spencer Horwitz to reload the bases and was pulled after Gonzales lined a two-run double into the right-field corner.<\/p>\n
Mets catcher Luis Torrens pitched the final two innings and was welcomed by Brandon Lowe sending a 42-mph pitch 380 feet to right for his 25th homer.<\/p>\n
Pirates RHP Jared Jones (2-3, 4.02 ERA) was set to start the series finale Sunday against Mets LHP Sean Manaea (3-5, 4.33).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PITTSBURGH (AP) \u2014 Bubba Chandler allowed three hits in six innings, Jake Mangum had three hits and the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":773997,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2396],"tags":[5,1751,707,17369,407,5627,5214,101,27936,4,1690,61,2548,4203,10608,9500,9501,9496,9497,22856,22857,22858,22859,36947,10916,10097,950],"class_list":["post-773996","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-mets","tag-baseball","tag-brandon-lowe","tag-bubba-chandler","tag-jacob-gonzalez","tag-jake-mangum","tag-jared-jones","tag-luis-torrens","tag-mets","tag-mets-pirates-score","tag-mlb","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-mets","tag-newyork","tag-newyorkmets","tag-nick-gonzales","tag-package-100024-ap-online","tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","tag-product-32562-ap-online-other-sports-news","tag-product-40778-ap-connecticut-sports-only","tag-product-40800-ap-new-jersey-sports-only","tag-product-40802-ap-new-york-city-sports-only","tag-product-40803-ap-new-york-state-sports-only","tag-product-40809-ap-pennsylvania-sports-only","tag-robert-stock","tag-ronny-simon","tag-spencer-horwitz"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/773996","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=773996"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/773996\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/773997"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=773996"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=773996"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=773996"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
