North Shore Nine

The Brewers turned Bubba Chandler’s first MLB start into a trial by fire, handing the Pirates a 10–2 loss. On the NS9 Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Bros, we walked through the details and what they mean going forward. Chandler’s line tells the story: 2.2 IP, 9 hits, 9 runs, 3 walks, 3 strikeouts. The first inning set the tone—the first three Brewers reached, and Jake Bauers ripped a double to make it 2–0 before Bubba could catch a breath. Command never settled; when he did get to counts to finish, Milwaukee refused to chase.

Offensively, the Pirates created a few windows but never stacked momentum. No Pirate recorded multiple hits. Cam Devanney notched his first MLB RBI, driving in Ji Hwan Bae, and Liover Peguero added the other RBI. Spencer Horwitz reached twice (hit and a walk). Bryan Reynolds extended his on-base streak, and Andrew McCutchen doubled—but those bright spots were isolated. Meanwhile, Milwaukee starter Jacob Misiorowski cruised: 7.0 IP, 3 H, 2 BB.

Perspective matters. As we said on the show, one ugly night won’t dent Chandler’s confidence—this is a hyper-competitive kid with real stuff who’s being tested by elite lineups. The focus now is adjustment: attack zones more consistently, sequence to finish counts, and funnel the athleticism into efficient outs. He likely won’t see Baltimore next, but a bounce-back opportunity against the Nationals could be the right medicine.
