He also drove in seven runs. Frazier started the week with a five-hit performance against the Cubs that included four doubles and two RBIs in an 18-5 win July 1. The former Mississippi State standout followed that with a four-hit, three-RBI outing that propelled the Pirates to a 5-1 victory over the Cubs.
