DENVER (AP) — Max Fried threw 7 1/3 sharp innings and the New York Yankees broke open a tight game with a 10-run fifth to beat the reeling Colorado Rockies 13-1 on Saturday.
Fried (7-0) tied Arizona's Brandon Pfaadt for the major league lead in wins. The Yankees lefty scattered six hits and gave up one run in an efficient outing in which he only tossed 83 pitches. Fried has allowed two earned runs or less in all 11 of his starts this season.

A game tied at 1 turned into a rout when the Yankees got the offense cranked up in the fifth. They sent 14 to the plate in collecting seven hits, drawing three walks — one intentional to Aaron Judge — producing two sacrifice flies and reaching on starter Kyle Freeland's throwing error.
The big blows were a pair of two-run doubles from Austin Wells and Trent Grisham. At one point, second baseman Adael Amador threw his glove in the air to try to thwart Paul Goldschmidt's RBI single over his head.
The inning ended on a strikeout of Judge, who hit his major league-leading 18th homer in the first inning. The Yankees had a season-high 21 hits.
Freeland (0-7) allowed eight runs — four earned — over 4 2/3 innings. He has gone 14 straight starts without a win.

The Rockies fell to 9-43 record, the worst record through 52 games since 1901. They beat the Yankees 3-2 on Friday and have a chance to capture their first series of the season with a win Sunday.
Key moment
The 10-run inning matched the biggest frame this season for the Yankees, who also scored that many in the seventh against San Diego on May 6.
Key stat
The Yankees are 6-10 all-time at Coors Field.
Up next
Yankees righty Will Warren (3-2, 4.05) throws Sunday, while the Rockies turn to righty Antonio Senzatela (1-8, 6.34).

Projecting the Big 12's top 10 quarterbacks for the 2025 season
Projecting the Big 12's top 10 quarterbacks for the 2025 season Who will lead the Big 12 in passing yards in 2025? In a conference where air raid offenses are tradition and 400-yard passing games are just another Saturday, the Big 12's next wave of quarterback stars are ready to light up college football in 2025. The Big 12's expansion in 2024, supercharged the offensive firepower across the conference. With additions like Colorado and Arizona State bringing their brand of football, the conference has become enriched with more great quarterback play. The Big 12's traditional schools like Texas Tech and Baylor continue to air it out, while the newcomers wasted no time adapting the Big 12's offensive identity. Adding Colorado, Utah, Arizona and Arizona State in 2024 brought an immediate boost to the Big 12's quarterback play. Three of the four newcomers finished the season among the top 10 in passing yards, highlighted by Colorado's Shedeur Sanders — the conference's only 4,000-yard passer. 2025's crop of quarterbacks should have some familiar faces from last season with some potential breakout stars. From star quarterbacks like Arizona State's Sam Leavitt to athletic dual-threats like Kansas State's Avery Johnson, the Big 12 is bound to have high passing yards in 2025. With the 2025 season inching closer and closer, here are our predictions for this year's Big 12 passing leaders. 10. Kaidon Salter, Colorado Buffaloes The Buffs are bound to have a new look offense in 2025 with the departure of Shedeur Sanders and Heisman winner Travis Hunter. But Salter should be able to crack the top ten if the Buffs can keep the same high-powered offense from last year in rhythm. 9. Jalon Daniels, Kansas Jayhawks Kansas' Jalon Daniels is bound to have a top-ten passing year after just missing out last season. The Jayhawks' success hinges on Daniels's improvising ability, but he has the potential to lead a high-powered offense with his dual-threat ability. 8. Noah Fifita, Arizona Wildcats Fifita was sixth in passing yards, but he is losing their top receiver, Tetairoa McMillan, to the NFL. The Wildcats might not be a Big 12 contender, but will still rely on Fifita to carry the load on offense. The 5-foot-10 signal caller should crack the top ten for passing yards. 7. Jake Retzlaff, BYU Cougars BYU could have a different face under center in 2025, but if Retzlaff wins the starting job he should have the same success he had in 2024. He is an accurate quarterback and barely missed the 3,000-yard mark last season. 6. Brehen Morton, Texas Tech Red Raiders Morton should have even more success in 2025 after the Red Raiders brought in a top transfer portal class. He succeeded in his first full year as a starter passing for 3,335 yards. Morton was good for fourth in the Big 12 last year but comes in at sixth based on big leaps by other quarterbacks. 5. Rocco Becht, Iowa State Cyclones Iowa State was last year's Big 12 runner-up and should be a top team in the Big 12 next season. In 2024, Becht passed for 3,505 yards and 25 touchdowns. However, Becht is losing his top two wide receivers, who accounted for 2,377 yards, which might put a dent in his passing yardage numbers. 4. Josh Hoover, TCU Horned Frogs Hoover was second in the Big 12 in passing yards and shouldn't take a step back in 2025. TCU had an interesting year in 2024, but Hoover is a smart and accurate QB. The only reason he isn't higher is because the playmakers above him are poised for even bigger years in 2025. 3. Avery Johnson, Kansas State Wildcats Kansas State won nine games in 2024 behind the play of a sophomore Johnson. He passed for 2,712 yards and was fifth in touchdowns last season in his first full year as a starter. The Wildcats' signal caller should take a big jump in 2025 because he has the talent to do so. Don't be surprised if he is a candidate for the Heisman Trophy by season's end. 2. Sawyer Robertson, Baylor Bears Robertson closed out the 2024 season strong, breaking the 3,000-yard mark en route to the Bears winning their final six conference matchups. Heading into his junior season Baylor is relying on Robertson to be a star as they head into 2025 as a Big 12 favorite. Robertson should rise to the occasion with his decisive playmaking and size. 1. Sam Leavitt, Arizona State Sun Devils Sam Levitt is coming off a successful 2024 campaign leading the Sun Devils to the Big 12 crown. Leavitt should leap into stardom this year in head coach Kenny Dillingham's offense. ASU will need him if they want to repeat their successes of last season.
