In time of need, Braves turn to Max Fried vs. Brewers

Atlanta will turn to left-hander Max Fried in hopes of avoiding a two-game deficit when the Braves face the host Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday in the second game of the National League Division Series.

Milwaukee won the series opener 2-1 Friday when Rowdy Tellez snapped a scoreless tie with a two-run homer in the seventh inning off Braves starter Charlie Morton, who had allowed two hits to that point.

Fried (14-7, 3.04 ERA) will be opposed by right-hander Brandon Woodruff (9-10, 2.56 ERA).

Fried, who has not lost since July 28, has won his last seven decisions over 11 starts.
