Fried Throws Five Strong Innings but Yankees Lose 1-0 to Mariners

A lone Weston Wilson homer was the difference and the result highlights New York’s reliable starting pitching alongside a sputtering offense.

Overview

  • The Yankees dropped a 1-0 game to the Mariners on Thursday after Max Fried allowed a second-inning solo home run to Weston Wilson and finished five innings with one run allowed.
  • Fried returned from a long injured-list stint with an elbow bone bruise and has been sharp in recent starts, posting a very low ERA since his return and lowering his season mark to the mid-2.00s.
  • Manager Aaron Boone praised Fried’s outing but said the offense “wasn't able to do much offensively,” as New York’s lineup was shut out at Yankee Stadium.
  • New York’s defense turned two key double plays and made several inning-ending plays that limited Seattle’s damage but could not produce the runs needed to win.
  • Left-hander Carlos Rodón is scheduled for a roughly 55-pitch rehab start at Double-A Somerset and could rejoin the rotation in about a week, which would bolster a staff that has posted a strong sub-3.50 ERA recently.
