The Atlanta Braves had a chance to close the gap even further on the Phillies against the last-place Marlins, but failed to capitalize in Max Fried's return.
ace Max Fried made his return to the rotation in the series finale of the Braves’ series against the Miami Marlins on Sunday.
The best way to describe his outing was that he looked like he hadn’t pitched in a live game in a few weeks. He threw 24 pitches in the fourth inning and was only able to get one out. By the time he exited, he gave up three earned runs on four hits and five walks while striking out six. Two more earned runs would be tacked on following Luke Jackson giving up a three-run shot to Jonah Bride.
One positive to take away is that he was able to throw more than 80 pitches in his return. While that was likely around his limit for this outing anyway, it’s a good sign that they won’t have to be overly cautious with him going forward.
