Max Fried strikes out 9 Rockies over 5 innings on 8/10/24

For Max Breed. He's made two starts here in his career and has allowed just one unearned run over 14 combined innings as a starter and he strikes him out, goes to the curveball to get things done. That was a great curveball and what a good pitch after the two fastballs inside they were in, in like I mentioned, and that curveball just pulled the string down and away. Beautiful pitch two. Did he go? Yes, he did. Max able to navigate his way through a tough situation there in the first inning. A strikeout of Bryant, a strike out of Diaz and the bases loaded for the Rockies called strike curveball at the top of the zone. No argument from to third K for free free strikes out Doyle, a cutter up top and four strikeouts. Now for Max to two pitch on the way chasing miss with a curveball and free strikes to get just perfect down and in and he got the strikeout on another curveball, seven strikeouts for free and five of them on this pitch right here. Eight strikeouts for Max freed at a 12, 3/4 inning for the South. Yes, sir. Frozen pizza. Nine strikeouts for free.
