One pitch after he thought he’d taken ball four, Adam Frazier made the Miami Marlins wish he had.
Frazier’s second homer of the game, a two-run shot in the eighth inning, helped the Baltimore Orioles hold on for their sixth straight victory, 5-2 over Miami on Friday night. It was Frazier’s first career multihomer game, and Cedric Mullins hit a solo shot of his own for the Orioles.
With Baltimore up 3-2 in the eighth, Frazier took a 3-1 pitch that looked a bit outside but was called a strike.
“I didn’t quite agree with that call, but you’ve got to flush it,” Frazier said.
