Fried’s Early Exit, Yankees’ Big Win | New York Yankees News

Max Fried made his third start back from injury at Yankee Stadium, delivering a gritty performance with one run, one hit, and seven strikeouts—but was pulled after just 80 pitches in the fourth inning due to command struggles. Despite the early exit, the Yankees cruised to a 10-3 win, powered by Anthony Volpe’s monster grand slam and five RBIs, securing a three-game sweep over Colorado. Fried admitted the outing was tough, as hitters stayed patient and he followed up strong counts with off-target pitches, forcing bullpen use. Still, his overall return has been stellar—2.13 ERA in 12+ innings—and the team is banking on him to ramp up stamina as they chase postseason glory. With a commanding Wild Card lead and a stacked rotation including Gerrit Cole, the Yankees are building momentum for deep playoff runs.
