Max Fried will start Sunday’s season finale
Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said earlier this week that either R.A. Dickey or Max Fried would get the start in Sunday’s season finale. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s David O’Brien reports that it will be Fried who gets the start after Dickey turned down the opportunity.
#Braves' Dickey will pass on making last start Sunday, ATL will start Fried in season finale.

He pitched well in Tuesday’s loss to the Mets allowing five hits and two runs over 6 2/3 innings. He made 31 starts for the Braves this season and is 10-10 with a 4.26 ERA.
