The Braves sent Max Fried to the mound looking to sweep the Giants in a bullpen game for San Francisco with their lineup weakened by minor injuries to Michael Harris and Ozzie Albies.
Fried ran into some early trouble, escaping a bases loaded jam in the first, with the baserunners coming from two singles and a walk. After the Braves’ offense could only manage an Austin Riley single in the home first, Fried allowed a leadoff homer to Luis Matos. The Braves struck back in the bottom of the frame, however, as Sean Murphy got lucky to reach on an error on a chopper and Orlando Arcia yanked a homer to give Atlanta a 2-1 lead.
