The Padres were shut out for the second consecutive day and the third time in eight games. They've lost six of eight since taking three of four in Atlanta from April 6-9.
SAN DIEGO — Max Fried held sputtering San Diego in check for five innings in his return from the injured list, and Austin Riley hit a two-run homer as the Atlanta Braves beat the Padres 2-0 Monday night for their seventh straight win.
Fried was activated to start against the Padres, who took him in the first round of the 2012 amateur draft. He limited San Diego to four singles while striking out four and walking none.Fried, who finished second in NL Cy Young Award balloting last year, was placed on the IL after leaving his opening-day start against Washington with a strained left hamstring. He allowed one run and four hits over 3 1/3 innings in that game.
The left-hander was sent from San Diego to Atlanta in a six-player trade on Dec. 19, 2014, during the Padres' failed win-now push for the 2015 season. He made his big league debut on Aug. 8, 2017. The Braves took a 2-0 lead three batters in on Riley's one-out homer to left field, his fourth. Ronald Acuña Jr. was aboard with a leadoff double on left-hander Ryan Weathers' first pitch.
