Big League Bulldogs (entering 8/20): More Moreland

No, this is not the same article you might've read right here on Cowbell Corner yesterday. It just might seem that way because once again this season, former Mississippi State star Mitch Moreland had another strong day for his Boston Red Sox.

Moreland helped Boston to a 6-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday. Moreland went 2-for-3 in the contest with a single, a double, a walk and a couple of runs scored. Now, for the 2020 season, Moreland is hitting at a fantastic .348 clip. He's also sporting an incredible 1.238 OPS.

Elsewhere on Wednesday, only one other former Bulldog saw game action. That was Adam Frazier of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Frazier went 0-for-4 in Pittsburgh's 6-1 loss to the Cleveland Indians.

Here are the details of Wednesday's action as well as season stats for all former MSU players that have seen action in Major League Baseball this year:
