Atlanta Braves pitcher Max Fried delivered a standout performance against the New York Mets, pitching seven no-hit innings with five strikeouts and three walks before being pulled from the game due to a high pitch count of 109. Fried, who has never thrown more than 110 pitches in a start, contributed significantly to the Braves' potential first no-hitter since 1994, with the score at 3-0 in favor of the Braves after seven innings. The Braves bullpen continued the effort, maintaining the no-hitter through eight innings. This marks the second time in three starts that Fried has been pulled from a no-hit bid.
The @Braves are going for their first no-hitter since 1994... head over to FS1 right now!

Max Fried of the @Braves is the first MLB pitcher to pitch 6.0+ innings and finish with no hits allowed twice in a span of three appearances since Johnny Vander Meer did so with his back-to-back no-hitters in 1938. https://t.co/SyRar5cBoe

What a complete jerk this Max Fried guy is. No-hitting the Mets thru 7 innings, thereby stealing the thunder from Paul Skenes’ remarkable debut. And he’s definitely gonna get there too. Creep.
Max Fried hands his no-hitter over to the bullpen after throwing 109 pitches. https://t.co/lPaGoC9MJ0
Three walks and nothing more allowed by #Braves’ Max Fried, but he’s at 109 pitches after 7 innings. Five strikeouts, and a 3-0 lead over Mets.
Max Fried pulled from a no-hitter for the second time in three starts
We're up to seven no-hit innings from Fried. He seems unlikely to return for an eighth, meaning this should turn into a staff effort for the Braves. https://t.co/GCv8mxww3x
WHAT A CATCH BY MICHAEL HARRIS 7 NO HIT INNINGS FOR MAX FRIED https://t.co/4OXHt6xIZT
Max Fried is through seven hitless innings against the Mets, but he's at 109 pitches after laboring in the seventh. It's hard to imagine the Braves letting Fried, who has never thrown more than 110 pitches in a start, go much further. Braves 3, Mets 0 after seven.
Make it six no-hit innings for Fried. https://t.co/QPG8QBW8Xc
Max Fried is no-hitting the Mets through six innings this afternoon. He has allowed two walks and nothing else on 85 pitches thus far. Braves 3, Mets 0 after six.

The last time Christian Scott was at Citi Field, he was honored by the Mets as the club’s Minor League Pitcher of the Year. Now he is back as a big leaguer. He’ll make his first start at home against the Atlanta Braves. @AbbeyMastracco https://t.co/tODaV3tkqZ
