Yankees Turn to Max Fried to Keep World Series Dream Alive
Max Fried will start despite a looming family matter as the Yankees try to avoid elimination after scoring two runs in two games.
- On Wednesday, the New York Yankees turned to left-hander Max Fried for ALDS Game 3 at Yankee Stadium, facing elimination against Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Nick Martinez.
- Trailing 0-2 in the best-of-five series, the Yankees entered the pivotal matchup following two losses in St. Petersburg, Florida, where the offense scored only two runs and the defense committed four errors in Game 2.
- Yankees starter Max Fried posted a 2.80 ERA over 20 starts this season, while Rays right-hander Nick Martinez, an All-Star who attended Fordham University and pitched in Japan, finished 15-6 with a 3.10 ERA.
- With the Yankees' season at stake, manager Aaron Boone emphasized playing cleaner baseball; only 10 teams in MLB history have rallied from a 0-2 deficit in a best-of-five series.
- A victory would extend the series to Game 4 on Thursday, where Carlos Rodon is slated to start; a loss would end the Yankees' season and extend their World Series title drought to a 17th season.
