Volpe... takes a FB high, 1-0 takes another, also high, outer half, 2-0 FB inside makes Volpe pull the hands in, 3-0 Cutter clips the inside corner, 3-1 FB probably just missed the high outside corner, called a strike anyway. Looks like 0% on Gameday, but very marginal. FB inner 3rd, jams him, taps it back to Fried, throws him out, 1 down. Aside from his other positives, Fried is a 3 time Gold Glove winner. Volpe was hosed. That ball looked to go around the plate. |

Verdugo gets a sinker near middle, fouls it off.
Another sinker on the inside corner, below the waist, rolled over to 2nd, Albies throws him out to end the inning.
Fried came out without his usual early inning struggles. Nestor better be on his game, Yanks won't be getting much off Fried, it looks like.
Top 2, 0-0
14 pitches in the 1st for Fried, matching Nestor.

Umpire Chris Conroy spoils a two-men on, no outs beginning to the game. I thought Derek Thomas as HP ump was bad yesterday, too.

For those who care, both the Gameday and the Statcast K zone at Baseball Savant say the 3-1 to Volpe was a 0-1% strike. Remember that the YES zone is tighter by a couple of inches on both sides.

The YES K zone made it look like a clear ball, and it wasn't. And good afternoon to you. |

Slider below and outside middle, fouled
FB inside, 1-1
Big curve to the low outside corner swung over.
Rice gets a big break, caught looking breaking ball, he took a knee high sinker down the middle that should've been strike, but wasn't called, 50-50 on Gameday.
And it doesn't matter, because he takes the same pitch, same height, a couple of inches further inside, for a K. Inning over.
Top 3, 0-0
12 pitch 1-2-3 for Fried in the 2nd, 25 through 2, and he looking like he might get his 3rd complete game this season.
Laureano, Arcia, then back to the top for Kelenic for the Braves in the 3rd.
