Max Fried was brilliant, the offense continued its torrid home run pace, and the Braves beat the Dodgers for the second night in a row, 6-3, in front of a packed house at Chavez Ravine.
For a mild change of pace, Fried and catcher Travis d’Arnaud went back to traditional signs instead of utilizing the PitchCom device. It also felt like Fried was a bit more deliberate on the mound, using more of the pitch clock allotment in between throws. While the results have been perfectly fine since returning from the IL, it felt like Max was off ever so slightly over the last month as he rebuilt stamina from the injury.
