Left-hander Max Fried was sensational on the mound, recording 22 outs before handing the ball off to the bullpen, which closed out the final five. With the victory, Fried improved to a perfect 7-0.<\/p>\n<p>In his first season in the Bronx, Fried has been nearly untouchable. The veteran southpaw has limited damage in every start and established himself as one of the league\u2019s most effective pitchers.<\/p>\n<p>Major League Baseball spotlighted Fried\u2019s dominance in a Saturday night post, stating:<\/p>\n<p>@MaxFried\u00a0remains atop the ERA leaderboard after another strong performance<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"ac_101954120\" class=\"article_chunk type_51\"><center><iframe id=\"instagram-embed-0\" class=\"instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DKDcjlMNsxM\/embed\/captioned\/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=810&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yardbarker.com&amp;rp=%2Fmlb%2Farticles%2Fmlb_sends_strong_max_fried_message_amid_yankees_season%2Fs1_17615_42240254#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A2177.3000000715256%7D\" height=\"1101\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-instgrm-payload-id=\"instagram-media-payload-0\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-8=\"true\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/div>\n<div id=\"ac_101954121\" class=\"article_chunk type_50\">\n<div class=\"froala-view custom-theme \">\n<p>Through 11 starts, Fried leads all of MLB in earned run average. He\u2019s pitched 70 innings, allowed just 10 earned runs, struck out 67 and walked only 16. His consistency has made him the ace the Yankees were hoping for when they signed him this past offseason.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aditude_inline_container aditude_ic_2\">\n<div id=\"aditude_article_inline_2\" class=\"aditude_div\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In his previous outing before facing Colorado, Fried shut down the New York Mets, allowing only three hits and two runs across six innings. The Yankees are now 10-1 in games started by Fried this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"ac_101954123\" class=\"article_chunk type_50\">\n<div class=\"froala-view custom-theme \">\n<p>This season marks a new chapter for Fried, who spent the first stretch of his career with the\u00a0Atlanta Braves. In his final year with Atlanta, he posted an 11-10 record and a 3.25 ERA. Over his time with the Braves (starting in 2017), Fried recorded four seasons with double-digit wins.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees signed Fried to an\u00a0eight-year, $218 million contract. Now 31, he\u2019s signed through the 2033 season, when he\u2019ll be 39 and become an unrestricted free agent.<\/p>\n<p>New York will look to take the series in Denver on Sunday before continuing their West Coast road trip with series against the Angels and Dodgers. Their next home game at Yankee Stadium is set for Tuesday, June 3, against Cleveland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Yankees continued their impressive start to the 2025 season on Saturday with a dominant win over the Colorado Rockies, fueled by excellent pitching and a huge&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":51031,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-51030","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
