Gets on base four times in win Frelick went 3-for-4 with a triple, a double, a walk, one RBI and one run scored in Wednesday's 9-0 win over the Pirates.

Impact Frelick had gone 5-for-26 (.192) over his last nine games since his previous multi-hit effort.

Frelick isn't strictly confined to a platoon role -- he's started twice during a run of four consecutive opposing southpaws -- but most of his off days will come versus lefties.
