Yankees pitcher Max Fried's winning run concludes as opponent's starting pitcher delivers a superior performance, thwarting Fried's gem.
📣 Yo! Let's dive into the dramatic 2-0 loss the Yankees suffered against the Red Sox, with Max Fried shoulderin' the blame for mostly keepin' Boston at bay.
Fried pitched a whoppin' seven innings, but it still wasn't enough to take the win, giving up just two runs — one in the first and another in the fifth. Before this game, the Yankees had an 8-0 record in Fried's starts following a loss, with the southpaw only surrenderin' five earned runs in 54 innings during those games.
But the bats went cold on Sunday, and even Fried's A-game wasn't enough to pull out a win. He struck out nine batters on a season-high 106 pitches, but Boston's offense managed to find cracks in his armor.
Enter Romy Gonzalez in the first, who extended the inning with a triple to right field, and Trevor Story who blooped a single to left to bring him in for the 1-0 lead. In the fifth, Rafael Devers homered off a 94 mph fastball that Fried admitted was in the wrong spot, "Put it in a spot where a really good hitter was able to hit the ball hard enough."
After the game, Fried acknowledged, "Got to come out and be better and match [Red Sox starter Brayan Bello]" who silenced the Yankees across seven shutout innings.
As for the future, Giancarlo Stanton may be back in the lineup soon, havin' spent Sunday at Yankee Stadium preppin' to return from tendinitis in both elbows. Be lookin' forward to seein' Stanton back in action in either Monday or Tuesday's game.
The Yankees have had a rough time against the AL East, currently at 8-11, but they've been sippin' success against every other team with a record of 34-16. Here's hopin' that their fortunes in the AL East take a turn for the better. ⚡️🥇💪🔥
