That fluky infield hit from Ramírez turned out to be the Guardians’ only knock of the night against Fried, who fired six scoreless with seven K’s in yet another win.

After falling flat his last time out, New York Yankees ace Max Fried blanked the Cleveland Guardians and led the New York Yankees to victory on Thursday.

Cleveland’s best chance to battle back was in the seventh. After Mark Leiter Jr. loaded the bases out of the bullpen, Yankees manager Aaron Boone summoned lefty sidearmer Tim Hill with one man out. He struck Naylor out before getting Noel to pop out to shallow right and end the threat.
