Max Fried stymies Royals in Braves' 3-0 win
September 28 - Max Fried scattered three hits over 8 2/3 scoreless innings and Sean Murphy belted a two-run homer to lift the host Atlanta Braves to a 3-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Friday.
Fried (11-10) retired the first 10 batters he faced and struck out nine batters overall to highlight his 98-pitch performance.
Marcell Ozuna scored on a throwing error in the eighth inning for the Braves (87-71), who have won four in a row to move within a half-game of both the New York Mets (87-70) and Arizona Diamondbacks (88-71) for one of the final two wild-card spots in the National League. The Mets and Diamondbacks were playing their respective games later Friday night.
