Braves Nation: Max Fried throws another ‘Maddux’

Max Fried has a long way to go to out-Maddux Maddux.

However, Fried got a step closer to Hall of Fame pitcher Greg Maddux with his shutout of the Marlins on Tuesday night. Fried needed only 92 pitches — and less than two hours — for the win. A shutout with fewer than 100 pitches has become known as a “Maddux.”

Maddux did it 11 times in his career as a Brave since pitch tracking began in 1988. Tom Glavine did it five times.

Fried has four to his credit now, one a rain-shortened game. Fried, who has struggled early this season despite a 2-0 record, hadn’t retired more than three consecutive batters this season until his latest masterpiece.
