Braves' Lefty Fried Starts As World Series Returns to Houston

HOUSTON — The Atlanta Braves are back at Minute Maid Park Tuesday night for Game 6 of the World Series against the Houston Astros.

But you could just hear Willy Nelson crooning "On The Road Again" as the final pitches whizzed by Braves hitters late in the Sunday night 9-5 Game 5 loss before an anxious Truist Park and Battery crowd.

Down their ace pitcher Charlie Morton, lost to a broken fibula in just the third inning of Game 1, Braves manager Brian Snitker needed to be creative with his bullpen Sunday. So he played the game pitching by committee, fielding five pitchers who collectively faced 41 at-bats.
