Overview

  • New York sent 15 batters to the plate in a third inning that lasted about 41 minutes, forcing Washington to throw 77 pitches, the second-most in any inning since at least 2000.
  • Six different Yankees homered — Trent Grisham, Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, Ryan McMahon, Ben Rice and Austin Wells — including four long balls in the third.
  • Max Fried carried a no-hitter into the sixth and finished seven innings with one run allowed on four hits, two walks and six strikeouts for his 14th win.
  • Nationals starter Cade Cavalli was charged with eight runs (seven earned) in 2 1/3 innings, and catcher Drew Millas fractured a finger on a catcher’s interference during the outburst.
  • The sweep followed two strong offensive games and precedes a road trip to face the White Sox after the Yankees outscored Washington 26-7 in the series.
