Indeed, the Braves seemed to build momentum when they took two of three from the Dodgers last weekend, but that’s proved to be a mirage.
To complete another poor day, the Mets defeated the Padres, pushing the Braves to six games back in the National League East.
Chisholm, after advancing to second on a grounder and third on a wild pitch, scored on a sacrifice fly.
The Braves’ best scoring chance against the righty came in the third, when Fried attempted to score on a sacrifice fly but was thrown out at home.
Fried gave up solo homers to Duvall and Lewin Diaz in the fourth and fifth frames, respectively.
“You get two strikes on guys, you have to make quality pitches,” Fried said.
After Thompson’s exit, Freddie Freeman led off the sixth with a single, but Ozzie Albies grounded into his first double play since 2019 to erase the base runner.
“Freddie, you watch him day in and day out, he’s hitting balls hard all over the place,” Fried said.
After going 10-1 in Fried’s starts last season, the Braves fell to 4-6 in his outings this time around.
