Atlanta Braves’ lefty Max Fried held the Washington Nationals to one hit in seven scoreless in SunTrust Park last weekend, but this time out the Nats scored five runs on six hits off the 25-year-old southpaw, knocking him out after he’d thrown 65 pitches in 2 1⁄3 innings on the mound in what ended up a 7-0 win for the home team in the nation’s capital.
Nationals’ starter Aníbal Sánchez tossed seven scoreless on 109 pitches, giving up three hits and a walk, and earning his 9th win (9-8) while lowering his ERA from 4.
