Homers early in win Frazier went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an RBI and a run scored Wednesday as he helped the Pirates to a 2-1 win over the Cubs.

Impact Frazier got things rolling right away as he opened up the bottom of the first by taking Kyle Hendricks deep to right to knot the game up at 1 apiece. The Pirates would then promptly take the lead after Ke'Bryan Hayes sent a ball flying over the center-field wall the very next at-bat to put his team up 2-1. Frazier's homer Wednesday snapped an 11-game drought as the 28-year-old has struggled at the plate for a majority of the season, hitting .220/.290/.335 with six home runs, 19 RBI and 19 runs scored across 211 plate appearances.

Clubs fifth homer Frazier went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Royals.

Impact He swatted his fifth homer of the year in the third inning, giving the Pirates a 3-1 lead that Trevor Williams would quickly squander. It was Frazier's first long ball since Aug. 22, but he's been making solid contact despite the power drought, slashing .292/.378/.354 over his last 20 games.

Notched two hits Sunday Frazier went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 3-2 win over Cincinnati.

Impact The 28-year-old extended his hitting streak to 10 games, during which he's collected 12 hits in 31 at-bats plus an 8:5 BB:K. After bouncing around the bottom of the batting order for several games, Frazier has moved back up to the No. 2 slot. He's also moved back to second base after playing several times in left field. Frazier has only one extra-base hit ( a double) in the last 10 games, but at least the career .275 hitter has lifted his slash line to .234/.303/.340.

Out of Game 1 lineup Frazier is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Reds.

Impact Frazier has a modest six-game hit streak and has a .919 OPS during that stretch, but he'll take a seat for Friday's matinee. Kevin Newman shifts to the keystone while Erik Gonzalez starts at shortstop in Game 1.

Looking for better results Frazier went 1-for-4 with a walk and two RBI in an 8-7 loss to the Cubs on Tuesday.

Impact He's strung together a modest four-game hitting streak (5-for-14) with three walks. For the season, however, Frazier continues to struggle with a .210 batting average and six extra-base hits in 134 plate appearances. He moved down to eighth in the batting order, albeit against tough lefty Jon Lester, for just the second time in 2020. Frazier's name came up at the trade deadline and it wouldn't be surprising to see him traded in the offseason.
