The Braves left-hander dazzles again Saturday, doing something that hasn’t been done in the last 25 years of team history

Max Fried did something that hasn’t been done in the last 25 years of Atlanta Braves history on Saturday, as the Braves defeated the New York Mets, 4-1, at Citi Field.

Per Sarah Langs of MLB.com:

Max Fried is the first Braves pitcher with two 6+ IP no-hit offerings over a span of three starts in a single season since Kevin Millwood in 1999 (June 6 and 17).

Fried pitched 7.0 hitless innings before being relieved in the eighth for reliever Joe Jimenez. Fried walked three and struck out five. He is now 3-1 on the year and has a 3.57 ERA. He also went 1-for-6 without a hit against the Seattle Mariners before this effort.

The Mets broke the no-hitter with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning on a solo home run by JD Martinez, who joined the team this offseason.

As for Fried, the pending free agent is putting together quite the resume before hitting the open market next offseason. The 30-year-old is 65-27 with a 3.06 ERA. He was selected in the first round of the 2012 MLB draft by the San Diego Padres and helped the Braves win the World Series during the 2021 season.

He made his Major League debut in 2017 and has won three double-digit games in his career. He also went 7-0 during the COVID-shortened 2020 season and was 8-1 last year while battling injury.

The Braves and Mets will play again Sunday as part of “Sunday Night Baseball” on ESPN.
