WASHINGTON (AP) — Pirates rookie right-hander Bubba Chandler turns 23 on Sunday. He started celebrating one day earlier. Chandler, making his second major league start, took a perfect game into the sixth inning to help the Pirates snap a seven-game losing streak with a 5-1 win against the Washington Nationals on Saturday. He allowed a run and two hits over six innings, striking out seven without a walk while throwing 81 pitches. Chandler allowed a leadoff single to Dylan Crews to start the sixth and Crews later scored on a single by Robert Hassell III to give Washington a 1-0 lead they held until the eighth. After Chandler departed the Pirates got two-run singles from Andrew McCutchen and Nick Yorke in the eighth inning and a solo homer from Jared Triola in the ninth to end their skid. (Photo: AP)
