Braves’ Max Fried tames Cubs upon return.

Max Fried Dominates as ​Braves Defeat Cubs‍ 8-0

In a thrilling opener‍ of their three-game‍ series, the Atlanta Braves secured an impressive ​8-0 victory against the Chicago ⁤Cubs. Max Fried, making his first start in nearly three months, delivered a stellar performance, throwing six shutout innings. The⁣ left-hander⁣ allowed only three hits, struck out eight, and didn’t issue a single⁣ walk. Fried’s return to ‌the mound after recovering from a strained left forearm was a major boost for the Braves.

The⁤ Braves’ offense was firing on all cylinders as​ well. Sean Murphy, Marcell Ozuna, and Austin Riley⁣ all hit home runs, while ⁤Ronald Acuna Jr. contributed three‌ hits​ to the team’s impressive win. With this victory, the Braves have now won ⁣six of their last seven games, showing their dominance in the ⁢league.

Kyle⁣ Hendricks Struggles as‍ Cubs Fall Short

On the other side, the Chicago Cubs couldn’t find⁣ their rhythm against the Braves. ​Starting pitcher⁢ Kyle Hendricks had a tough outing, allowing seven runs, all in the fourth inning, and eight hits over four innings.‌ Despite striking ⁤out three batters and not‌ issuing​ any walks, Hendricks couldn’t contain the Braves’ explosive offense.

Cody Bellinger was one of‌ the few bright spots for the ⁢Cubs, collecting‍ two of the team’s four hits. However, it wasn’t enough to overcome the Braves’ dominant performance.
