Big League Bulldogs (entering 9/15): Bulldogs-turned-Pirates have stage to themselves
It was a light day for former Mississippi State players getting on the field during Major League Baseball action on Monday. In fact, the former Bulldogs that are now Pittsburgh Pirates had the show all to themselves.
Adam Frazier and Chris Stratton each played over the course of Pittsburgh's doubleheader against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday. And while both had contributions, the Pirates were swept in the double-dip, losing the first game 3-1 and the second game 9-4.
Frazier played left field in both contests. He went 0-for-3 in the day's opener, then when 1-for-3 with a single, a hit-by-pitch and two runs scored in the second game.
