Big League Bulldogs (entering 9/4): Frazier and Moreland see action

A daily look at how former Mississippi State stars are performing in Major League Baseball

It was a slow day in general across Major League Baseball on Thursday and that led to several off days for former Mississippi State stars. But Adam Frazier of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Mitch Moreland of the San Diego Padres both had games and played for their respective teams.

For Frazier, he had a 1-for-3 day with a double, walk and a run scored to help the Pirates past the Chicago Cubs 6-2. 

Moreland and the Padres lost 2-0 to the Los Angeles Angels. Moreland was 0-for-2 with a walk in the contest.
