Max Fried Achieves 72nd Career Win

Atlanta Braves pitcher Max Fried delivered a crucial performance on Saturday, pitching six strong innings and allowing only one earned run in a 6-2 victory over the Miami Marlins. This win is particularly significant for the Braves, who are still in the hunt for the NL Wild Card, now just two games behind the New York Mets. Fried's performance also marked his 72nd career win, tying him with Steve Avery for the fifth most wins by a left-hander in Braves history. Manager Brian Snitker praised Fried's offspeed pitches and fastball velocity, emphasizing the importance of his role in the team's playoff push. Despite a season marked by injuries and inconsistent performance, Fried has posted a 3.10 ERA over his last eight outings. His next start will likely be against the Mets, a game that could be pivotal for Atlanta's postseason chances.
