Max Fried mostly cruised through six innings and the Braves unleashed a barrage of extra-base hits on Miami pitching as Atlanta picked up its 23rd win of the season on Sunday afternoon by a 6-3 tally. Fried allowed a solo homer in the first and little else, while the Braves pounded three homers, including two by Marcell Ozuna, and held a first-inning lead through the rest of the game.
At the very beginning, an observer familiar with the Braves’ 2022 season to date could have thought, “Here we go again,” as postseason Braves hero Jorge Soler took Fried deep on a 1-2, down-the-pipe fastball.
