Max Fried vacillates again while the Battes of the Yankees Flop in Dispite Rubber at Astros
When the Yankees signed Max Fried for the first time for an eight -year contract of $ 218 million, the plan was for him to be the Robin of Batman of Gerrit Cole.
But Cole underwent Tommy John surgery during training in the spring, Catapulting fried at the top of the yankees depth of rotation table. Responsible for being the indisputable ace of a new team, the former brave played the role with brio during his first 17 departures, recording an MPM of 1.92 while making an average of six rounds per exit.
Recently, however, Fried had to cringe his departure days.
This was the case on Sunday at the Yankee Stadium, while the left -hander entered a rubber match against the Astros with an MPM of 5.81 in his last six games – a section that included a scar -bulb since – before allowing four points more than five images.
The Yankees lost, 7-1, passing the third club to 62-56 this season.
Fried, who also harvested eight sure, a walk, two successful shots and three stick withdraws on 94 throws, first was in trouble during the opening round, while Jose Altuve took him deep for a solo shot after a round of usual huae.
Christian Walker followed with a double RBI in the third, while Cam Smith added a 3-2, two outings and two points, two baggers with the bases loaded in the fifth.
Fried seemed to take out Smith when he struck the outside corner with a quick 2-2 ball. However, the referee of marble Derek Thomas, who previously expelled Aaron Boone for having made a correct access stroke during the third round, reigned on the ground and prolonged the shot of Smith.
While Fried did not obtain aid from the referee, his performance marked another day when a start -up of the Yankees did not record a sixth round. Luis Gil became the first member of the team’s rotation to do this this month on Saturday; He totaled 5.1 rounds.
Fried was not the only reason why the Yankees lost Sunday because the bats of the Bombers were pitiful against Jason Alexander.
The right -hander – not the actor who played another assistant from the traveling secretary of the Yankees – started the final of the series with an MPM of 5.97. This did not prevent him from taking an offer without cut in the sixth, however.
Alexander ended up leaving only a blow while holding the Yankees aimlessly on six rounds. He also walked three and withdrew three.
The Yankees went up on the board with a Ryan McMahon Bag fly in the seventh, but that was all they obtained after loading the bases with a withdrawal.
With the wasted opportunity and the astros adding three points in a ninth slide, the Yankees lost their third consecutive series. The team has now been 20 to 31 since June 13, giving the Boone team one of the worst baseball records during this trunction.
