Fried (13-7) got the win in Friday's 4-0 victory over San Diego, surrendering just three hits with four strikeouts and zero walks over nine scoreless innings.
As Atlanta fends off the red-hot Phillies for the NL East lead, Fried delivered a dazzling start at the perfect 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.
