Earns win in relief
Ashcraft (2-0) allowed one earned run on five hits and no walks while striking out two across 2.2 innings Saturday against the Mets.
Analysis
Ashcraft entered the game following a lengthy rain delay, relieving Bailey Falter. Ashcraft didn't showcase the same dominance that he has at different points in a similar long-relief role, but he largely worked his way out of trouble in both the third and fourth frames. He had just shifted into a traditional starting role, though this outing could push him back into the bullpen for the time being.

Goes three frames in first start
Ashcraft did not factor into the decision in Monday's 5-4 win at Milwaukee, allowing one hit and no walks over three scoreless innings with two strikeouts.
Analysis
The 25-year-old rookie made all seven of his previous appearances out of the bullpen, so he wasn't expected to go deep in this contest. Ashcraft managed to stymy the Brewers lineup across his 35 total pitches, 28 of which were strikes. Prior to being called up May 26, the right-hander had started 10 games for Triple-A Indianapolis, so it is possible that the Pirates are seeking to incorporate Ashcraft into the big league rotation. Through 14.2 total major-league innings, he has pitched to a 1.23 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB.
