Shows glimpse of promisePolanco went 2-for-3 with a walk, double and run scored Thursday against the Cubs.
ImpactPolanco had collected just one hit while striking out seven times in 17 at-bats entering Thursday's contest. He turned that around to some extent, managing both his first extra-base hit and multi-hit effort of the campaign. Though he has a lengthy track record of disappointing performances, Polanco showed a glimpse of potential with this effort.

Drives in oneFrazier went 2-for-4 with a walk and an RBI on Thursday against the Cubs.
ImpactFrazier was one of the few sources of offense for Pirates, as he laced an RBI single in the fourth inning. Serving as the team's primary leadoff hitter, he has only five hits in 22 at-bats, but has also worked five free passes in six starts. Though a part of potentially the worst lineup in the majors, Frazier should still score at a decent clip if he can continue to get on base.

Tagged with lossAnderson (0-2) allowed three earned runs on 10 hits and no walks while striking out five across 5.1 innings to take the loss Thursday against the Cubs.
ImpactAnderson was burned by the long ball, as homers by Kris Bryant and Javier Baez accounted for all three of his earned runs. While he didn't surrender any walks, it's possible Anderson was in the strike zone too much, as he was tagged for 10 hits. Anderson has had mediocre results across two starts with the Pirates, surrendering six earned runs across 10.1 innings while accruing a 12:2 K:BB. Anderson currently lines up to make his next start Wednesday against the Padres.
