Braves send Max Fried to mound, look to narrow Mets' division lead

Field Level Media

The Atlanta Braves hope Max Fried will return from his second trip to the injured list and find the same success he did the first time he came back.

The left-hander will start the second game of the three-game series against the visiting New York Mets on Wednesday night. Fried (4-4, 4.21 ERA) will oppose New York lefty David Peterson (2-5, 4.95).

Fried will try to reverse Atlanta's fortunes against the Mets. New York is 6-3 against Atlanta this season and overcame a 3-0 deficit for a 4-3 victory on Tuesday in the series opener.
