April 6 - The Atlanta Braves hope to see a better version of Max Fried when they host the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday night in the second contest of a three-game series.
Fried (0-0, 40.50 ERA) will be opposed by Arizona right-hander Brandon Pfaadt (1-0, 1.80), who will make his first career appearance against the Braves.
The Braves took the series opener on Friday by overcoming a late three-run deficit to win 6-5 in 10 innings. Last season the teams split six games, with each winning two of three on the road.
Fried was unable to get out of the first inning in his first start against Philadelphia last Saturday, a game the Braves still won 12-4.
