Truist Park was electrified on Sunday, with fans clinging to the hope that the Braves could close out the World Series in Game 5. Early momentum quickly faded as the Atlanta pitching staff was unable to keep the Astros offense quiet. Despite the disappointing loss, the Braves are still in the driver’s seat entering play on Tuesday. G6 will feature Atlanta left-hander Max Fried versus Houston right-hander Luis Garcia, who will pitch on short rest after starting G3 in Atlanta.
Fried was less than stellar during his only outing of the series, but will have the ultimate opportunity to atone.
