TJ Friedl’s Bizarre Day: Hit by 3 Pitches in One Game as Reds Unleash Power Showdown
In the fifth frame, right-handed reliever Alex Carrillo drilled the 5-foot-8 Friedl with an 85 mph slider. A 91 mph sinker was the culprit in the eighth inning, and it was dealt by another Mets southpaw, Brandon Waddell.
“The lefties, it makes more sense because everything is away and I’m trying to stick my nose in there,” Friedl, a lefty himself, said postgame, via The Associated Press. “The last one, that one stung!”
That said, he didn’t need to check in with Reds athletic trainers throughout the game, and he’s planning on being in the lineup again Saturday.
