He gave us what we wanted and felt actually good concerning the outing he put forth, however I felt fairly convicted. Particularly we received the double play, it’s like, ‘Let’s go get yet one more hitter and be good.’”
After the sport, Fried told reporters that he had sufficient stamina to maintain pitching.
“I positively exerted numerous power making an attempt to get out of that,” Fried mentioned. “However, I positively had sufficient within the tank for regardless of the workforce wanted, however [Boone] was assured sufficient to provide the ball to [Weaver] in that scenario.”
