Things have not gone well for the Cubs in Pittsburgh the past two nights, but Pirates second baseman Adam Frazier is having the time of his life.
Frazier was 5-for-6 in Monday's 18-5 demolition of the Cubs. He had four doubles, two RBIs and three runs scored.
So what did he do for his follow-up performance? Oh, he went 4-for-4 in Tuesday's 5-1 Pirates win. He had a double and a home run, finishing a triple shy of the cycle. Frazier tallied three RBIs and three runs scored.
Frazier is 9-for-10 in the two games against the Cubs with six of those hits going for extra bases. He also has hits in seven striaght trips to the plate.
Frazier's average went up 22 points from .254 to .276.
From the Cubs' perspective there's no significance to this other than they have to find a way to get this guy out before leaving town. The Cubs play twice more against the Pirates before getting Friday off ahead of the crosstown series against the White Sox.
