In his last appearance on August 3 against the Milwaukee Brewers, Chandler had one of his better outings of the season, pitching 5.2 innings and giving up two earned runs as the Buccos won 4-3 at American Family Field. It was his first win since June 25, and it was the Pirates\u2019 only win in the four-game set.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Mets are handing the ball off to 36-year-old right-hander Robert Stock, who is making just his second appearance for the team this season. In his last start on August 2 against the Miami Marlins, Stock pitched five innings, giving up three hits and one earned run, but his offense did not support him. The team lost 2-0 to the Miami Marlins at Citi Field.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Stock was a second-round pick by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2009 MLB Draft. He spent his first nine professional seasons in the minor leagues before being called up in 2018 by the San Diego Padres. He has pitched for the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs and even had stints in Korea and Mexico before returning to the big leagues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Location: PNC Park, Pittsburgh, PA<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Broadcast: KDKA AM\/FM, Sportsnet Pittsburgh<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Pitching Matchup: Robert Stock (0-1, 1.80 ERA) vs. Bubba Chandler (4-8, 4.49 ERA)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">BD community, chime off in the comments section below for the game day thread.
