  • Fried Pitches Well Again
    Jul 1 2024
    The Braves played three different teams last week and ended it with a series victory over the visiting Pirates. David & Eric begin with Max Fried, who went toe to toe with Paul Skenes on Saturday afternoon. (09:00) David gives an update on Michael Harris II, who has been on the IL since June 15th with a strained left hamstring. (12:00) The Braves beat Pittsburgh on Friday night 6-1 to open the weekend series. All but four of the outs were recorded by pitchers that are in their forties as Charlie Morton handed the ball off to Jesse Chavez. (17:00) Atlanta fell 4-2 on Sunday to miss an opportunity to sweep. Spencer Schwellenbach allowed four runs in only five innings of work, but did notch seven strikeouts.
