ATLANTA -- NL Cy Young Award contender Max Fried lasted just one inning in his final start of the regular season, leaving the Atlanta Braves' game against the Miami Marlins after tweaking his ankle fielding a bunt Wednesday night.
Fried (7-0) retired the first two hitters, including Starling Marte who dropped a bunt down the third-base line. The left-hander bounded off the mound, planted his left foot, grabbed the ball bare-handed, spun and threw to first just ahead of Marte.
Fried didn't appear hurt but wasn't the same pitcher after that play.
