September 21 - Atlanta Braves left-hander Max Fried needs this game.
Heck, the Braves need the game, too.
Fried (9-10, 3.49 ERA) will start for Atlanta on Saturday afternoon against the host Miami Marlins.
The Marlins recorded a 4-3 victory on Friday night, damaging the Braves' playoff hopes.
Miami manager Skip Schumaker said he was impressed with his players' response after the team's 20-4 loss to Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday.
"It was a great team win," Schumaker said Friday. "It was a long night (on Thursday)."
The Braves (83-71) trail the New York Mets by two games in the race for the final wild-card berth in the National League.
