Atlanta Braves left-hander Max Fried hasn't been an All-Star in his five seasons in the majors, but he continues to pitch like one.
Fried, who went 17-6 in 2019 and 7-0 last season, is scheduled to take the mound in the rubber game of a three-game series against the visiting Miami Marlins on Sunday afternoon.
Fried (11-7, 3.42 ERA) is 5-2 in 10 starts since the All-Star break, with a 1.97 ERA.
He told reporters after his last outing that he's challenging hitters more instead of just nibbling at the corners.
