A dominant win is one thing.
When that win happens due to some rare events, it certainly makes it even better.
Joc Pederson's homer off Josh Fleming was his first off a lefty since 2018. He had 36 HR in 2019, 7 in 2020, 11 this season before tonight, and all 54 of those were against RHPs. Of his 25 in 2018, 1 was against a lefty.
So, 2 of 80 homers in four seasons have been off lefties.— David O'Brien (@DOBrienATL) July 18, 2021Fried is the first Braves pitcher to have a three-hit game since Alex Wood went 3-for-3 against the Nationals on May 10, 2015.
