Brilliant in 11th win Fried (11-10) earned the win Friday versus Kansas City, completing 8.2 scoreless innings while allowing three hits and two walks. He struck out nine.

Impact The Atlanta southpaw fell one out short of his third complete game and second shutout of 2024, as he picked up his 16th quality start. No one in the Royals lineup could square up Fried except for Michael Massey, who collected the only extra-base hits, two doubles. Fried has carried Atlanta down the stretch, completing six or more innings in his last six starts while firing a 2.43 ERA over 40.2 innings. The 30-year-old wraps his eighth season with a 3.25 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 166:57 K:BB across 174.1 innings, proving he can be an ace as he enters free agency this offseason.

Sharp in 10th win Fried (10-10) picked up the win Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and a walk over six innings in a 6-2 victory over the Marlins. He struck out six.

Impact The lefty delivered his second straight quality start and fourth in his last five outings on 100 pitches (69 strikes), but Fried left the mound with the score tied 2-2 before Atlanta's offense erupted in the top of the seventh to get him the win. Over his last eight trips to the mound, Fried has posted a 3.10 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 47:13 K:BB through 49.1 innings. With Atlanta trying to catch the Mets for the final wild-card spot in the NL, his final outing of the regular season could be a big one -- it comes at home next weekend against the Royals.

Logs quality start in loss Fried (9-10) took the loss against the Dodgers on Monday, allowing three runs on two hits and three walks with seven strikeouts over six innings.

Impact Fried didn't receive any run support from his offense but generally lacked command, throwing 57 strikes and generating only eight whiffs on 98 pitches. He has yielded three earned runs or fewer in seven of his past 10 outings but has just two wins to show for it. On the season, the southpaw owns a 3.49 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 151:54 K:BB across 159.2 innings and lines up for a favorable matchup with the Marlins this weekend.
