The New York Yankees split a double-header against the Pittsburgh Pirates, winning 2-0 in Game 2, largely due to Max Fried’s impressive return from injury. Fried, who had not started since late May, dominated over five innings, allowing just one hit and striking out seven while throwing only 57 pitches. His strong performance, alongside Gerrit Cole in the rotation, bodes well for the Yankees as they aim for a playoff push, especially with hopes of reintegrating Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton.
