Chamberlain gave up three solo homers while recording just two outs Wednesday in a loss to the Pirates.

Analysis:

After Chamberlain got the first out, he gave up Neil Walker's second homer of the game, got Andrew McCutchen to ground out, then gave up back-to-back jacks to Starling Marte and Pedro Alvarez. He'd given up just two homers in his first 28 appearances, so this was an out-of-character night in that respect, but Chamberlain's now been blown up for three runs twice in his last three appearances.
