The Braves have not had too many easy wins this season. They certainly have not had too many back-to-back easy wins this season. On Friday night, though, they cruised to a second consecutive not-too-stressful victory, as the bats teed off on Carlos Martinez while Max Fried cruised through seven breezy frames.
The only part of this game that may have caused any consternation for Braves fans came in the top of the first. Max Fried was not quite settled in across his first two batters, as Tommy Edman roped on a double on a full-count inside fastball and Dylan Carson hung in for ten pitches before finally grounding out to third.
