Max Fried tosses seven scoreless innings in Yankees' 5-0 win over Mariners
Max Fried threw seven scoreless innings and Giancarlo Stanton drove in two runs as the Yankees defeated the Mariners, 5-0, on Tuesday night in Seattle. Yankees (4-1) pitching has dominated so far this season. Starters have allowed just one run in the first five games, and the team as a whole has allowed just two runs this season.
Here are the takeaways... -Fried was dealing. He didn't allow a hit until two outs in the fourth inning, and even then, he coasted into the seventh inning.
But the Mariners would get to the southpaw a bit in that inning. Fried would erase an infield single by Julio Rodriguez by getting Josh Naylor to hit into a double play. But after hitting Randy Arozarena with a pitch, Brendan Donovan looped a single to give Seattle their best chance to score a run off the lefty.
However, Fried hunkered down and got Victor Robles to line out to the outfield to end the threat. Fried was done after that, allowing just three hits and one walk across seven scoreless innings (90 pitches/60 strikes). He also struck out six batters.
Fried has now pitched 13. 1 scoreless innings across his first two starts of the season. -The Yankees scored one run on Mariners pitching on Monday, they would double that in the first inning off of Logan Gilbert .
