Fried Pitches Well Again

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.

(25:00) The season has passed the halfway point and thus far Orlando Arcia is struggling mightily at the plate. Arcia last season had an OPS of .741 and in 2024 it is far lower at .582.

(30:00) The Braves host the Phillies next weekend and currently are eight games back in the NL East.
