Yankees Edge Tigers 4-3, Max Fried Dominates

The New York Yankees managed to avoid a sweep against the Detroit Tigers with a 4-3 victory, thanks in large part to Max Fried's dominant performance. Fried pitched seven scoreless innings, striking out 11 and allowing only five hits, while Ben Rice broke a 16-inning scoreless streak with a two-run homer in the seventh. Aaron Judge added two more runs in the ninth inning, capitalizing on a series of errors by the Tigers, including dropped pop-ups by catcher Dillon Dingler. Despite a shaky ninth inning where closer Devin Williams allowed the Tigers to score two runs, Mark Leiter Jr. secured the win by getting the final out. The Yankees snapped a three-game losing streak and improved their record to 7-5. Fried's strong outing and Rice's timely hitting were crucial in overcoming a tough matchup against Jack Flaherty, Fried's former high school teammate.
