Hurting Braves turn to bullpen in finale vs. Red Sox

Injuries to one of their best pitchers will force the Atlanta Braves to go with a bullpen game on Wednesday night when they complete a two-game series against the visiting Boston Red Sox

The Braves won the opener Tuesday 9-3, their third straight win. But any further momentum will have to continue without ace left-hander Max Fried, who was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a strained left forearm

On Wednesday, Boston will start right-hander Brayan Bello (1-1, 5.71 ERA) against one of Atlanta's veteran relievers, likely either Jesse Chavez, Collin McHugh or Michael Tonkin.
