CHICAGO – Braves pitching Don Larsen Jersey prospect Max Fried waited a long time for his moment, his first major league start, and for much of the summer it looked like it might be delayed until next year due to something as innocuous as a blister. But six weeks after returning from Greg Bird Authentic Jersey a stint on Double-A Mississippi’s disabled list, Fried was on the mound Sunday before a sellout crowd at Wrigley Field, facing the defending World Series champion Cubs, who were on a six-game winning streak and looking to complete a season sweep of the Braves. The slender left-handerJoe Girardi Jersey did his part to help the Braves end it, and so did Fried’s fellow rookie and former Southern California travel-ball teammate, Rio Ruiz. Fried pitched five solid innings to Jon Niese Youth Jersey earn his first major league decision and Ruiz had a career-high three RBIs in a 5-1 win, the first for the Braves over the Cubs in the seventh and final game between the teams. “It was definitely really crazy,” Fried Mariano Rivera Authentic Jersey said of the atmosphere. “But we got the win, that was my goal coming into it. Came in and did what I wanted to do. I couldn’t be happier now.”
