Fried struck out one batter over three scoreless innings without allowing a hit or a walk in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

He plunked Byron Buxton with a pitch, but it was otherwise a spotless performance from Fried in his first trip to the mound this spring. The 28-year-old southpaw has emerged as a frontline starter over the last two seasons, posting a combined 2.84 ERA and 1.09 WHIP over 39 starts and 221.2 innings, and he'll look to build on that success in 2022.

Fried (1-1) allowed four hits and no walks while striking out six in six scoreless innings to earn the win over the Astros in Game 6 of the World Series on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Fried had given up at least five runs in each of his last two appearances, but he bounced back Tuesday to help Atlanta clinch its first World Series title since 1995. The southpaw made five starts during the 2021 postseason and posted a 4.23 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 27.2 innings.

Fried (0-1) allowed five earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three across 4.2 innings to take the loss in Game 5 of the NLCS against the Dodgers on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Fried was handed a 2-0 lead prior to taking the mound, but he allowed two home runs in the second inning to quickly surrender the support. He had pitched well in his two prior starts this postseason, combining to allow only two earned runs across 12 innings entering Thursday's outing. Fried almost certainly won't be available for the rest of the NLCS, so he'll hope to have the chance to bounce back with starts in the World Series.

Fried allowed two runs on eight hits in six innings of work in Saturday's ALCS Game 1 win over the Dodgers. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Fried left with the game tied, 2-2, a score which held up until Austin Riley's walkoff single in the bottom of the ninth. While he didn't pick up the win, he did his job keeping his team in the game despite not throwing a single clean inning. He was able to limit the damage despite a steady stream of hits, allowing one run on a two-out single by Chris Taylor in the second inning and another on a solo homer by Will Smith to lead off the fourth. He's now lined up to pitch Game 5 next Thursday.

Fried will start Game 1 of the NLCS against the Dodgers on Saturday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fried was excellent down the stretch, recording a 1.46 ERA in 11 starts since the beginning of August. His 23.4 percent strikeout rate over that stretch wasn't anything special, but his elite 3.3 percent walk rate and 58.3 percent groundball rate represent a sustainable path to success. He was excellent in his start in Game 2 of the NLDS against the Brewers, striking out nine while allowing just three hits across six scoreless innings.

Fried (1-0) tossed six scoreless innings, allowing three hits while striking out nine in a win over the Brewers in Game 2 of the NLDS on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander was extremely effective in this one, scattering two singles and a double over six scoreless innings. The nine strikeouts represent his highest total since Sept. 1 and he has registered a quality start in seven consecutive outings. Fried has gotten hot at the right time, posting a 1.34 ERA and 0.70 WHIP since the beginning of September.

Fried (14-7) went seven innings and picked up the win Wednesday against the Phillies, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits while striking out six.

EDGE Analysis

Fried captured his third consecutive win after limiting the Phillies to a Ronald Torreyes RBI single in the second inning, a play that resulted in an additional unearned run after Ozzie Albies' throwing error. They're the only two runs Fried has given up over 23 innings during his three-game winning streak, and the 27-year-old hasn't lost a decision since July 28. He finished the regular season with a 3.04 ERA in 28 starts, posting a 158:41 K:BB over 165.2 innings.

Fried (13-7) got the win in Friday's 4-0 victory over San Diego, surrendering just three hits with four strikeouts in nine scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

With Atlanta fending off the red-hot Phillies for the NL east crown, Fried delivered a signature start at the best time with his second straight scoreless appearance. The 27-year-old retired the final 18 Padres and registered his second shutout in his last seven starts. The lefty now owns a 1.59 ERA through five September outings and has won his past five decisions.

Fried (12-7) fired seven scoreless innings, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out five to earn the win over the Giants on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Fried continued his streak of 10 straight quality starts. He's allowed just 13 earned runs in that stretch. In addition, he hasn't lost since July 28. The 27-year-old has a 3.31 ERA and 1.16 WHIP with 148 strikeouts in 149.2 innings this season. His next start is scheduled for Friday in San Diego.

Fried allowed three runs on four hits and a walk over six innings in Sunday's win over Miami. He struck out seven and did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Through five innings, Fried had allowed just one run on a solo blast by Jesus Sanchez in the second inning. He then coughed up a pair of RBI singles in the sixth. Over his last eight outings, the 27-year-old southpaw owns a 1.94 ERA with a 49:8 K:BB over 51 innings. Fried will carry a 3.47 ERA into his projected outing in San Francisco next weekend.
