Frazier walked in his first at bat, working an 0-2 count to eventually draw the pass. He advanced to second base on Bronson Arroyo's sacrifice bunt, but was stranded there.
He would then fly out to center in the bottom of the fifth inning and struck out on four pitches in the bottom of the seventh inning.
