Fried allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out four over seven innings in a no-decision versus Philadelphia on Wednesday.
This was Fried's longest and most effective outing since he returned from a forearm injury in early August. Still, his winless skid is up to seven starts, a span in which he's gone 0-4 with three no-decisions. Fried has allowed 15 runs (14 earned) across 20.2 innings in August. For the year, he's pitched to a 3.57 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 119:46 K:BB through 128.2 innings over 22 starts. His next start is projected to be at Minnesota.
