Yankees' Max Fried tells himself 'suck up your pride,' owns Red Sox after adjustment

BOSTON — Forget alternate jerseys. The Boston Red Sox wouldn’t have been able to hit New York Yankees starting pitcher Max Fried if they had been in an alternate universe Wednesday — and it was largely because of a mid-game change that made him look again like the ace he was last year.Fried ditched the windup in the third inning and went on to throw eight scoreless frames in a 4-1 win at Fenway Park, striking out nine, walking two and giving up three hits. The Yankees would have blanked Boston in two consecutive wins if lefty reliever Brent Headrick hadn’t surrendered a meaningless run in the ninth.Advertisement
