The host Atlanta Braves hope to add to the St. Louis Cardinals' offensive miseries when they send southpaw Max Fried to the mound on Friday for the second game of a four-game series.
The Braves blanked the Cardinals 4-0 on Thursday in the series opener behind the strong effort of Charlie Morton,who took a no-hitter into the seventh inning. That ended Atlanta's two-game losing streak and broke St. Louis' three-game winning streak.
It was the fourth time St. Louis has been shut out this season and the second time in five games. The Cardinals have scored only nine runs in their last six games.
