Saturday's Braves Report (final edition)

Fried fine, but Braves have no offense and pen struggles

          UGA product and former Brave Alex Wood kept Atlanta’s offense more in check than Max Fried could do to the Dodgers in L.A.’s 5-1 win.

          Fried left after five, after giving up a run on two hits with seven strikeouts and three walks. Five relievers followed, and Sam Freeman gave up two runs in the ninth, all but killing Atlanta’s comeback hopes.

Will the slump change the trade strategy?

Beltre thinking about the Braves?

For those asking about Ozzie...just a day off. Snit said since he's coming off the hamstring injury, the #Braves want to pick and choose spots to give him a day off here and there. He's available off the bench and will be in the lineup tomorrow./KM
