Atlanta Braves right-hander Bryce Elder will try for three consecutive quality starts when he takes the mound against the host Chicago Cubs in the second game of their three-game series on Saturday afternoon.
After a rough start to the month, Elder made his past two starts against the Milwaukee Brewers and produced better results with each outing.
"I think it's always good to get back on track," Elder said. "Last week in Milwaukee, I thought the result was good, but I was still a little shaky, but then , I thought I commanded the ball well and made pitches when I needed to." Fried threw six shutout innings in his first start in nearly three months to help the Braves to an 8-0 win, their sixth victory in the past seven games."Just a beating," Cubs manager David Ross said on Friday. "We'll go home tonight and be ready to go tomorrow."
