Collects first win Fry (1-2) picked up the win in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Blue Jays, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.
Impact The southpaw breezed through Toronto's 8-9-1 hitters in a tie game, then got rewarded when Baltimore took its first and only lead of the night in the top of the 10th. Fry likely won't be available for any high-leverage work Saturday after pitching two straight days, but he remains one of manager Brandon Hyde's more dependable bullpen arms with a 2.89 ERA, two saves, seven holds, a 40:14 K:BB and zero homers allowed through 28 innings on the year.

Orioles rally, beat Blue Jays 6-5 to end 20-game road skid
Austin Hays drove in two runs to cap an eighth-inning rally and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5 in 10 innings Friday night to stop a 20-game road losing streakJUNE 26, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Squanders ninth-inning lead Fry retired only two of the six batters he faced and gave up four earned runs on two hits and two walks Saturday to take the loss in the Blue Jays' 10-7 victory over the Orioles.
Impact Tasked with protecting a 7-4 lead heading into the ninth inning, Fry couldn't come through in what should have been a stress-free save situation. The four runs Fry allowed ended a streak of eight straight scoreless outings and may have cost him a chance at gaining some security as Baltimore's closer. Expect manager Brandon Hyde to continue to mix and match in the back of the bullpen, though save opportunities haven't exactly been plentiful this season for the 23-47 Orioles.

Picks up second save Fry allowed two hits and no walks while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save against Cleveland on Friday.
Impact Manager Brandon Hyde said in late May that he wanted to use Fry as an option to close out games, and the southpaw picked up his first save since April 7 in Friday's win. Cesar Valdez, Hunter Harvey and Cole Sulser could see some save opportunities as well, leaving the closer picture in Baltimore very muddled.

Possible option for ninth inning Manager Brandon Hyde is considering Fry as an option to close games, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Impact Outside of an ugly showing Wednesday versus Tampa Bay, Fry has had an excellent season with a 2.81 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, six holds and one save in 16 innings. Hyde wants to use right-hander Cesar Valdez earlier in games, which could open up some ninth-inning work for the southpaw Fry. The 28-year-old could be worth a look in deeper fantasy formats, but Baltimore enters Saturday with a 17-27 record -- save opportunities have been rare for the team in 2021.

Takes loss Wednesday Fry (0-1) was tagged with the loss Wednesday against the Rays after allowing three runs on two hits and two walks while fanning two across two-thirds of an inning.
Impact Fry couldn't even complete a full inning of work and was downright awful in this one despite tossing 20 of his 31 pitches for strikes, as he allowed four of the six batters he faced to reach base and two of them crossed home plate. The left-hander ended a streak of four straight scoreless outings and he also allowed more than one run in a single game for the first time this season. He still owns a solid 2.81 ERA, but there's no question this is an outing he'd like to forget as soon as possible.

Charged with blown save Fry allowed a run on two hits and struck out two in 1.1 innings in Sunday's loss to Oakland. He was charged with a blown save.
Impact Fry allowed a game-tying RBI single to Jed Lowrie in the seventh inning. The 28-year-old Fry has four holds, two blown saves and one save in 13 appearances this year. He sports a 1.59 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 17:5 K:BB across 11.1 innings. The Orioles don't have a strictly established order of setup men to closer Cesar Valdez, but Fry has pitched well enough to be part of the late-innings equation.
