Yankees' Max Fried Dominates Rays in 3-0 Victory

Max Fried continued his dominant start with the Yankees, allowing just one hit over seven scoreless innings in a 3-0 win against the Tampa Bay Rays, improving his record to 6-0 with a league-best 1.01 ERA. Fried, recently named American League Pitcher of the Month, has become a crucial asset for New York, especially with ace Gerrit Cole sidelined. Paul Goldschmidt powered the offense with a three-run homer, while Aaron Judge added to his historic season, maintaining a .427 average and extending his on-base streak. The Yankees remain unbeaten in games started by Fried, highlighting the impact of their offseason acquisitions. The Rays' offense continued to struggle, managing only three runs over their last four games, while the Yankees' lineup, led by Judge, remains one of the most feared in baseball. New York's strong pitching and offensive depth position them as early favorites in the American League East.
