Yankees come back to beat Rays 7-5 behind Bellinger, Volpe and Fried
NEW YORK -- Cody Bellinger hit a three-run homer, Anthony Volpe also went deep and the New York Yankees erased an early deficit Tuesday night in a 7-5 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. Max Fried recovered from a rough start and threw a career-high 111 pitches in 6 2/3 innings. Volpe delivered a tiebreaking single in the fourth and launched a 452-foot homer to center field in the eighth, the longest of his career. He also committed two throwing errors at shortstop, the second one on a play that should have ended the game. That gave Tampa Bay another chance before Devin Williams struck out All-Star Jonathan Aranda with runners at second and third for his 17th save. New York pulled within four games of first-place Toronto in the AL East after falling 6 1/2 back last weekend. Fried (12-4) allowed four runs — two earned — and four hits while surpassing his previous career high of 110 pitches for Atlanta at Philadelphia in September 2022. On a sweltering 92-degree night, Fried gave up a two-run triple to Jonny DeLuca in the first inning — three batters after Volpe's throwing error on a forceout attempt at second base. Aranda homered leading off the third to make it 3-0, but Fried retired his next 14 hitters. Bellinger's drive off starter Joe Boyle (1-1) tied it in the bottom half, and Volpe put the Yankees ahead with his RBI single in the fourth. Then he stole third and scored on a throwing error by new Rays catcher Nick Fortes. Paul Goldschmidt added a run-scoring single that made it 6-3. Fried was removed after giving up an RBI double to Taylor Walls in the seventh. Yankees reliever Jonathan Loáisiga retired Yandy Díaz to end the seventh and gave up consecutive hits in the eighth before Volpe started a double play on Christopher Morel's grounder. Bellinger reached 20 homers for the fifth time. … Volpe hit his fifth homer in 11 games, but he leads the majors with 15 errors. ... The Rays dropped to 8-19 in their last 27 games following a 25-9 stretch. Yankees rookie Will Warren (6-5, 4.82 ERA) opposes Rays RHP Zack Littell (8-8, 3.72) on Wednesday night.

Max Fried gives Yankees exactly what they needed in rebound from rocky start
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free This was the better kind of blistering performance from Max Fried. On a night when the Yankees needed to keep their bullpen usage light, on a night when they needed to start to reverse their recent slide, on a night when they needed their ace to live up to his billing, Fried checked all those boxes in notching his 12th win of the season. A start that appeared to be going downhill after Anthony Volpe's error led to two unearned Rays runs in the first inning, and Jonathan Aranda's homer put a third on the board, ended with Fried going 6 ²/₃ innings while striking out nine, allowing just two earned runs and retiring 14 straight. That gave the Yankees a chance to come back from a 3-0 deficit, which they gladly took in beating the Rays 7-4 in The Bronx on Tuesday. Yankees pitcher Max Fried reacts after giving up a run to the Tampa Bay Rays during the seventh inning at Yankee Stadium in The Bronx on Tuesday night. JASON SZENES/ NY POST After a messy return from the All-Star break in which Fried gave up a season-high six runs in a loss to the Blue Jays last week, he had everything going Tuesday, looking like the same pitcher who has anchored the rotation all season. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS 'Just kind of a stud, grind it [out] effort by him,' manager Aaron Boone said. Before the game, Boone said that the blister on Fried's left index finger, which caused concern heading into the All-Star break, was essentially a nonfactor at this point. Judging by the rest of the night, and the effectiveness of Fried's curveball in particular, he was right. Fried went to his curve 34 times and induced eight whiffs, using it as his out pitch throughout the evening. Aside from his first and last innings — the former induced largely by Volpe's error, which negated a double play — he was never in trouble. The latter came when Boone tried to squeeze one extra out from Fried after he walked catcher Nick Fortes. Though a cheer went up from the Stadium crowd after Boone seemingly went to pull Fried but left him in the game, Taylor Walls' double allowed Fortes to score from first. New York Yankees pitcher Max Fried throws a pitch during the seventh inning against the Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium on July 29, 2025. JASON SZENES/ NY POST It was Fried's 111th and last pitch of the night, and the first hit he'd given up since Aranda's homer, as Boone brought in Jonathan Loáisiga, who quickly ended the inning. 'I've not had the best results in the last however many starts,' Fried said. 'It was just important for me to go out there and make sure we put us in a really good chance to win today. Just wanted to bear down, hold us there to be able to help the offense do what they do.'

Max Fried strikes out nine as Yankees hold on to beat Rays, 7-5
Max Fried pitched into the seventh inning and the Yankees used the other team's mistakes to their advantage for a change as they held on to beat the Rays, 7-5, on Tuesday night in the Bronx. The win improves the Yankees' record against the AL East to 12-18. The win, coupled with the Blue Jays being swept in their doubleheader with the Orioles, has cut Toronto's lead for the division to four games. Here are the takeaways... -The defense betrayed Fried early in this one. After Yandy Diaz led off with a single, Jonathan Aranda hit a groundball up the middle to Anthony Volpe, but the young shortstop flipped the ball too far for Jazz Chisholm Jr. to field, allowing the runners to reach safely. The error would come back to haunt the Yankees as Jonny DeLuca hit a two-out triple to score both runs and put New York in a 2-0 hole. Volpe would make up for it later. The extra pitches didn't help Fried, who did not have his usual command. While Tampa wouldn't score too many runs on the southpaw -- an Aranda leadoff homer in the third the only blemish -- Fried labored through the first four innings but settled down once the Yankees grabbed the lead. The left-hander retired 14 straight after the Aranda homer and gave the Yankees some necessary length. He pitched into the seventh, but after getting the first two outs, Fried walked Fortes and Aaron Boone came out, but the southpaw said he wanted the next batter and the Yankees skipper obliged. However, Taylor Walls hit a run-scoring double to cut the Yankees' lead to 6-4. That was it for Fried. Fried tossed a career-high 111 pitches (69 strikes) across 6.2 innings, allowing four runs (two earned) on four hits, two walks and striking out nine batters. -A day after the offense scored just two runs on six hits, it looked like it was going to be more of the same on Tuesday. Despite working walks and getting traffic on the basepaths, the Yankees just couldn't get the big hit against youngster Joe Boyle. In the third, the Yankees had runners on the corners with two outs when Cody Bellinger launched a missile over the right field wall to knot things up at 3-3. New York would take the lead in the fourth after Jasson Dominguez led off the inning with a single, stole second and advanced to third on a flyout. Volpe brought him home by singling up the middle to put the Yankees up 4-3. Volpe and Austin Wells -- who reached on an error-- pulled off the double steal and catcher Nick Fortes -- who the Rays traded for from the Marlins this week -- threw it into left field, allowing Volpe to score. After a Ben Rice walk, Paul Goldschmidt got in on the action with an RBI single. -The Yankees wouldn't get much going offensively until the eighth, when Volpe launched his 15th homer of the season 452 feet into the Yankee bullpen. It was the longest home run of Volpe's career and gave New York a much-needed insurance run. The Yankees had just six hits in this game and Volpe and Dominguez had four of them. -The Yankees' bullpen, which is short because the team has played so many consecutive days, was tasked with getting the final seven outs. After Jonathan Loaisiga got the final out of the seventh, he came back out for the eighth and allowed back-to-back singles to lead off the inning. Loaisiga would get Chrostpher Morel to ground into a double play before Chandler Simpson popped out to end the threat. Devin Williams had a shaky ninth inning. Josh Lowe hit a lead-off triple and Jose Caballero walked. Tristan Gray grounded into a force out, pushing across Lowe from third. Taylor Walls also grounded into a force out before Diaz reached on a throwing error by Volpe, the shortstop's league-leading 15th of the season. Volpe shorted the throw to Goldschmidt that the first baseman couldn't scoop up. But Williams got Aranda to strike out with the tying runs on base to complete the save. Game MVP: Max Fried Again, Fried gave the Yankees the length they needed and showed why he is their ace this season. Highlights What's next The Yankees and Rays continue their four-game set on Wednesday evening. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. Will Warren (6-5, 4.82 ERA) will take the mound while Tampa will send Zack Littell (8-8, 3.72 ERA) to the bump.
