PITTSBURGH — Adam Frazier is making the most of his chance as Pittsburgh’s new left fielder.
Frazier had a career-high four RBIs, Josh Bell and John Jaso homered, and Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Washington Nationals 10-4 on Thursday.
Frazier hit a two-run double in the sixth inning and a two-run single in the seventh to help the Pirates pull away after Jaso’s solo home run in the fifth inning broke a 4-4 tie. Frazier, the leadoff hitter, is 10 for 20 in his last four games.
“He’s done a very nice job for us, very professional guy up there, sees pitches, swings the bat,” Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said.
