New York Yankees Highlights: vs Tampa Bay Rays | 5/2/25

And there you see Max Fried make it his seventh start five and oh, how about that era one one nine thirty seven and two thirds nine So I guess let's check out the Nissan pitchers a scouting report the arsenal He's outstanding fastball curveball slider change last time against Tampa a lot of fastballs curveballs and changeups on the ground almost a 60% Ground ball rate and also lefties. He's eaten up lefties this year 189 clip and righties as well to 13 average And the Yankee lefty deals swing Dialed it up to 96 No runs. No hits. No errors one man left 31 career pickoffs. Nobody's had more since 2017 in the big leagues and a lot of lefties and because he hangs so well And then when he goes down that slope They'll try to cheat and get as much as they can to almost look like it's coming They're coming home and the key is to walk towards first base watch him walk towards first base You could see that coming Jeff Yeah, you know Caballero just had could not read him and free does such a great job It makes you commit one way or the other Strike three Meisner down looking No runs. No hits. No errors and because of this pickoff Nobody left on base There's one and they double them up five six three double play this double up the speedy Simpson we go to the bottom of the third Strike three Aranda down looking Max Freed retires the raise High-fly ball right Meisner back. He's on the track. He's at the wall. See ya a Three-run blast for Goldschmidt and the Yankees lead three nothing With the way that Max Freed is pitching. This might be good night raise What a start to his Yankee career two more hits tonight. That's his third home run He has 16 runs batted in and oh, yeah, he's hitting 364 And the pitch swing and a miss got him two down Swing and a miss Aranda down on strikes for the third time Fifth strikeout for Freed. He does car jumping if you notice his arsenal throughout the game, you know to seamer here I'll throw the big breaking ball And a change That's a six strikeout Yankees win three nothing a Three-man One hit shutout. It's the Yankees third shutout win this season all of them against the Rays and they only needed one swing of the bat and that was by Paul Goldschmidt a three-run home run a Tidy three nothing win and a brilliant job again for Max Freed He becomes only the fourth Yankee pitcher in history to win six of his first seven Good job by the bullpen Devin Williams coming in with a clean inning and then the big swing of the bat Feel it again those power numbers are coming back
