The Braves offense was nearly non-existent for much of this game, especially in run-scoring situations. The eruption that occurred on Tuesday quickly became a distant memory as Atlanta stranded runners, carrying their struggles and misfortunes all the way to the end. Those shortcomings resulted in a 2-1 loss for Atlanta, who continue to find ways to avoid reaching the .500 mark.
Max Fried was outstanding for Atlanta in this game. The left-hander worked seven innings, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out nine. The month of July had been unkind to Fried, but he finished with a solid outing that gave his team every opportunity to win the game in a crucial matchup for Atlanta.
