DotF: Duran and Pereira continue to mash in Pulaski’s win

In case you missed it earlier, OF Clint Frazier was placed on the Triple-A disabled list and is going through the league’s concussion protocol. He left last night’s game with concussion symptoms after attempting a diving catch. Frazier missed a bunch of time with a concussion earlier this year. Suffering another one so soon is bad news. Hope Clint’s okay.
