in 1953, The Braves left Boston. Now, with “interleague play” we get to return from time to time.
The Red Sox entered this game as a shell of their post 2000 selves. So, with that and Max Fried on the mound, you have to figure that we had a better chance than Lloyd Christmas with Mary Swanson.
Max was not the brilliant self he has been so far all season, but it was enough. 5 innings, 2 runs, 5 hits, 2 BB’s, 5 K’s. But those less than Maximus results exceed almost every other Braves start this season.
