BOSTON -- — Max Fried struck out a career-high 13 batters in seven strong innings, Ozzie Albies hit a tiebreaking three-run homer and the Atlanta Braves beat the Boston Red Sox 8-3 on Tuesday night.
Orlando Arcia added a solo shot in the seventh for the Braves, who improved to 3-0 this season against Boston.
Fried (6-2) allowed three runs, two earned, on four hits while working seven innings or more for sixth time in his past eight starts.
“I felt like I had a really good feel for the slider and my curveball was probably the best that it’s been all year,” Fried said.
