Bubba Chandler Strikes Out Career-High 11 In Latest Start

Pittsburgh Pirates pitching prospect Bubba Chandler struck out a career-high 11 batters over 6 2/3 innings Thursday for Double-A Altoona.

Luis L. Ortiz Notches Seven Strikeouts

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Luis L. Ortiz rebounded nicely during Wednesday's win over the Cincinnati Reds. The 25-year-old recorded seven strikeouts and allowed one run over six innings of work.
