Yankees' Max Fried and Red Sox's Rafael Devers Set for Fenway Park Showdown

First Inning


As the Yankees prepare to face off against the Red Sox at Fenway Park, all eyes will be on Max Fried, the Yankees' ace pitcher. Over his last three games, Fried has demonstrated remarkable control and precision on the mound. In a recent outing against the Royals, he posted an impressive ERA of 2.57 with a WHIP of 0.86, showcasing his ability to limit baserunners effectively. His pitches per inning averaged around 13, indicating efficiency in dispatching batters.

Fried's performance is complemented by Aaron Judge's explosive batting prowess. Judge has been on a tear recently, boasting a .750 average with two home runs and four RBIs in a game against the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium. His slugging percentage of 2.25 and OPS of 3.05 from that game are indicative of his power-hitting capabilities.


Second Inning


The Yankees' lineup also features DJ LeMahieu, who has been consistent at the plate with an average of .667 over his last three games. LeMahieu's ability to get on base is crucial for setting up scoring opportunities for sluggers like Judge and Cody Bellinger.
