Braves' Max Fried reacts to brutal first start since injury

Back-to-back losses to the last-place Miami Marlins have left the Atlanta Braves reeling. After Sunday's terrible 7-0 loss, the Braves have some questions to answer, particularly the recently activated pitcher Max Fried. The pitcher had been sitting on the injured list due to left forearm neuritis that first bothered him a few weeks ago. He hadn't made an appearance since warming up for the MLB All-Star Game on July 16.
