CLEVELAND (AP) — David Fry had a game-ending hit and the Cleveland Guardians stopped the Atlanta Braves’ nine-game winning streak with a 6-5 victory in 10 innings Tuesday night.
Fry drove an 0-1 pitch over the head of left fielder Eddie Rosario to score Amed Rosario from third base. Braves closer Raisel Iglesias (3-3) intentionally walked Andrés Giménez, bringing Fry to the plate with two outs.
“Off the bat I was like it’s for sure a hit,” Fry said. “And then I was watching Rosario. I thought, he’s going to catch this thing. I had my hand in the air, I need to put my hand down because he is about to catch it. But when I saw it land, pretty fired up.”
Fry was mobbed by his teammates in the celebration that ended the tense contest.
“It’s a hard-fought game,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “We ended up a run shy. We battled back and put ourselves in a good position.”
