Max Fried pitched effectively for the Atlanta Braves in a loss. Jack Flaherty pitched erratically for the St. Louis Cardinals in a win. Chicago White Sox ace Lucas Giolito then capped a historic day for Studio City Harvard-Westlake High School with a strong start against the Angels, but it was wasted in a 4-3 loss in Anaheim.
It was something of a mixed bag for the former Harvard-Westlake stars who on Thursday became the first trio of players from the same high school team to make big-league opening-day starts in the same season.
All three, who played at Harvard-Westlake in 2012, had no-decisions, Fried giving up two runs and six hits, striking out eight and walking two in five innings of a 3-2, 10-inning loss at Philadelphia and Flaherty giving up six runs and six hits, striking out four and walking two in 4 1/3 innings of an 11-6 win at Cincinnati.
