Chatwood allowed one run on one hit across three innings in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Reds. He struck out five.
Chatwood allowed a solo home run to Josh VanMeter, but otherwise, the righty was locked in, lowering his ERA to 3.00 through six spring frames. The 30-year-old is considered the early favorite for the rotation's fifth and final spot, and he's staking a strong claim to the role thus far.
