The Atlanta Braves began the month of July on a high note as they defeated the Cincinnati Reds 9-1 on Friday night. Max Fried earned his eighth win after tossing seven innings of one-run ball.
Offensively, Dansby Swanson continued his hot streak and collected three RBI via a three-run home run in the seventh inning.
After going 4-for-5, Swanson was a triple shy of the cycle. His batting average now sits at .300.
“He’s as solid as they come,” Max Fried said following Swanson’s Friday night performance.
