Call it the Max Fried Game.
Fried threw seven innings of four-hit shutout baseball and went 3-for-3 with a pair of RBIs at the plate in a 9-0 victory for the Braves over the Tampa Bay Rays.
With the laundry list of injuries on this club leading to a lack of depth, superstar individual performances from the high-end talent might be all the 2021 Braves really have left. The Braves got one last night when Freddie Freeman went 4-for-5, but couldn’t make it hold up.
Tonight it held up and then some.
Positives:
- Max Fried put the team on his back tonight after a brutal loss last night.
