Frazier’s base hit in the second inning was the fourth of five singles in the inning off Mets starter and loser Marcus Stroman, and it came after a 39-minute rain delay.
Singles by John Nogowski, Wilmer Difo and Kevin Newman loaded the bases with one out and after the rain delay, Pirates starter – and winner – Chad Kuhl struck out.
