Overview
- Max Fried held the Tampa Bay Rays hitless through six innings, aided by strong defensive efforts, before controversy arose.
- In the sixth inning, Chandler Simpson’s grounder was initially ruled an error on Paul Goldschmidt but later changed to a hit by official scorer Bill Matthews in the eighth inning.
- Jake Mangum’s single to center field in the bottom of the eighth officially ended Fried’s no-hit bid moments after the scoring reversal.
- Fried finished with 7⅓ innings pitched, allowing two hits, two walks, and striking out two, leading the Yankees to a 4–0 shutout victory.
- The mid-game scoring change has sparked debate, as it effectively ended Fried’s no-hitter before a live hit was recorded.
