New York Yankees pitcher Max Fried has extended his scoreless streak to 13 1/3 innings to start the 2026 season, providing a much-needed boost to the team's injury-plagued starting rotation.
Why it matters

The details
In his latest outing on Tuesday night, Fried continued his strong start by pitching six scoreless innings, scattering five hits and striking out seven batters. Despite occasionally struggling with his command and loading the bases at times, the left-hander was able to work his way out of trouble and keep the opposing team off the scoreboard.
