Max Fried is set to take the mound on Tuesday in Baltimore as the Braves try to turn things around on this road trip against one of the best teams in baseball.

It was another embarrassing effort by the Atlanta Braves as they lost 3 in a row to the Washington Nationals. Something has to change.

After splitting a two-game set in Boston, the Braves hed to Washington looking for revenge in a four-game series.
