Fried exits after taking liner off left hip

WASHINGTON -- A long day began inauspiciously for the Braves, when Max Fried was forced to exit after completing just two innings in Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals at Nationals Park.

Fried exited after getting hit in the left hip with Spencer Kieboom's 104.4-mph line drive. The left-hander grabbed the ball, threw to first to record the inning's final out and then walked toward the dugout under his own power.
