NEW YORK (AP) — 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.

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.

Anthony Volpe's roller coaster night at the center of Yankees' wild win over Rays
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 As they continue what they hope is just 10 days without Aaron Judge, the Yankees are going to have to find different ways to score without their MVP. On Tuesday, that meant using their athleticism to force the issue on the bases and make the Rays look like … the Yankees. The Yankees got active on the basepaths and in the process took advantage of the Rays' sloppiness, turning it into a three-run rally that was just enough to make up for their own errors in a 7-5 win on a stiflingly hot night in The Bronx. Anthony Volpe, whose error in the first inning led to a pair of unearned runs against Max Fried, rebounded to go 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs, and two RBIs, plus a key stolen base as part of the game-changing fourth inning. But he committed another throwing error in the ninth inning — his MLB-leading 15th of the season — that put the tying run on base before Devin Williams picked him up with a strikeout of Jonathan Aranda. With the Blue Jays getting swept in a doubleheader against the Orioles on Tuesday, the Yankees (58-49) picked up a game and a half in the division standings to pull back within four games of first place. Cody Bellinger had provided a big swing for a three-run shot that tied the game in the third inning before the Yankees made things happen on the bases in the fourth. Jasson Domínguez led off with a single, stole second and then tagged up to third on a fly ball to left field. 5 Anthony Volpe runs home on an errant throw by catcher Nick Fortes after he stole third base in the fourth inning of the Yankees' 7-5 win over the Rays on July 29, 2025. Jason Szenes / New York Post CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS He came in to score on Volpe's bloop single for the 4-3 lead. After Austin Wells reached on a low liner to second base that José Caballero could not field cleanly, he and Volpe took off for a double steal with Trent Grisham at the plate. But Rays catcher Nick Fortes' throw to third sailed into left field, allowing Volpe to score. 5 Jasson Domínguez dives back into third base safely after going past the bag after tagging up on a fly ball to left field during the fourth inning of the Yankees' win over the Rays. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post One out later, Paul Goldschmidt roped an RBI single off lefty reliever Mason Montgomery to make it 6-3. On a night when their beat-up bullpen was short, Fried delivered what the Yankees needed, going 6 ²/₃ innings while giving up four runs, though only two were earned. After allowing a leadoff home run to Aranda in the third inning, Fried retired 14 straight before running out of gas in the seventh, with the Rays (54-54) pulling within 6-4. 5 Cody Bellinger belts a three-run homer in the third inning of the Yankees' win over the Rays. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post The scuffling Jonathan Loáisiga relieved Fried and tossed 1 ¹/₃ scoreless innings, helped by a key double play started by Volpe in the top of the eighth after the first two batters had singled. Volpe then provided some insurance in the bottom of the eighth, drilling his 15th home run of the year 452 feet off righty Kevin Kelly to make it 7-4. That proved key as the Rays scratched a run across off Williams in the top of the ninth before Williams eventually locked down the save after Volpe's throwing error extended the inning. 5 Max Fried picked up his 12th win of the season in the Yankees' win over the Rays. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post The night started off in all-too-familiar fashion, with an error costing the Yankees a pair of runs. This was another from Volpe, as he ranged up the middle to field a ball but then made an errant flip beyond Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s reach at second to wipe out a potential double play. Fried retired the next two batters, but then fell behind 3-0 to Jonny DeLuca before the Rays center fielder drilled a 3-1 pitch into the gap to score both runs. 5 Anthony Volpe belts a solo home run in the eighth inning of the Yankees' win over the Rays. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Aranda led off the third inning with a home run on the first pitch Fried threw, putting the Rays ahead 3-0. The Yankees started the night 0-for-7 with runners on base before Bellinger gave them life by crushing a three-run home run off righty Joe Boyle that tied the game in the bottom of the third.

The shocking hit film about overworked nurses that's causing alarm across Europe
The world could face a shortage of 13 million nurses by the end of this decade. For her new film, Swiss director Petra Volpe imagined the consequences of just one missed shift on a busy night at a hospital, and found herself making a disaster movie. With Late Shift, Volpe aimed to shine a light on the frontlines of the looming healthcare catastrophe through the eyes of the dedicated, exhausted Floria. Played by German actor Leonie Benesch, the young nurse shows an initially acrobatic grace in her workday, whose first half resembles a particularly hectic episode of the restaurant kitchen series The Bear, but with life-and-death stakes. Arriving for her shift cheery and energetic and taking the time to ask about her colleague's recent holiday, Floria soon hears that another nurse has called in sick. The looming workload suddenly grows exponentially, compounding the stress and driving up the likelihood she will make a fateful mistake. The Swiss-born Volpe said she had chosen the film's German title Heldin (Heroine) because it took a mythic term often reserved for warriors and applied it to the bravery and self-sacrifice of care work. 'This work, which is extremely complex and emotionally charged, is completely devalued in our societies,' Volpe says. 'I find it very symptomatic because it's women's work – 80% of the people [in many countries] who do this work are female.' Volpe was inspired by a longtime roommate who worked as a nurse, and by the autobiographical novel Our Profession Is Not the Problem – It's the Circumstances by German former care worker Madeline Calvelage, who advised her on the script. 'My heart was pounding from the first chapter and I thought to myself – this reads like a thriller,' Volpe says. 'But within that stress you find the most tender, human moments.' The film revolves around the escalating and competing needs of patients on a hospital ward, with a different set of medical and emotional demands lurking behind each door, signalled to the staff by a shrieking call bell. Benesch's turbo-driven career has already included roles on The Crown and Babylon Berlin as well as film parts in Michael Haneke's The White Ribbon, Munich Olympics attacks drama September 5 and German Oscar nominee The Teachers' Lounge. She says a common thread in her most recent characters was 'people who burn for what they do'. But she notes it was rare in TV medical dramas to see nurses and their everyday feats front and centre. 'You're used to getting the physicians as the heroes and then in the backdrop a nurse might hang an infusion bag or drink a coffee or have an affair with the senior doctor,' Benesch says. 'Before this it wasn't clear to me how much of the actual medical responsibility rests on nurses' shoulders.' Benesch, who trained at London's Guildhall School of Music & Drama, said she spent several shifts trailing real nurses at a Swiss hospital to learn the 'choreography' of interactions between staff and patients, and the manual skills of prepping a syringe or taking blood pressure. 'I wanted real nurses not to be able to tell the difference between me and a professional,' she says. 'I just hope people aren't scared off by a film with subtitles because the story is absolutely universal.' Late Shift has stoked heated policy reform debates and proved a critical and box office success in German-speaking Europe, even besting the latest Bridget Jones movie in Swiss cinemas. At the world premiere at the Berlin film festival in February, several nurses were invited to appear in their uniforms on the red carpet and take the stage after the screening for a round of applause. Days before Germany's general election, some held #wirsindfloria (We Are Floria) signs. One of those guests was Ingo Böing, 47, who worked in hospitals for a quarter century and is now on staff at the German Association of Nursing Professionals, which lobbies for better conditions for care workers. 'It was incredibly moving,' he says of the film gala. 'Watching several of the scenes I thought 'Wow, that's really how it is.'' Böing says Late Shift did a convincing job depicting the 'vicious circle' of nursing, in which people working at the absolute limits of their strength call in sick at short notice, leaving those who show up for duty with an even more daunting task. 'It's that feeling of trying to meet so many needs at once and not managing,' he adds. He says waiting lists like those used by the NHS in Britain, although frustrating for patients, would help hospitals in Germany better prioritise while keeping medical staff from getting overstretched. Franziska Aurich, 28, who works on a cancer ward at Berlin's Charité hospital, also found the film 'very close to reality'. Asked what she'd advise Floria, Aurich says: 'I would say go back to work tomorrow because like her I can't imagine doing anything else with my life. But join a union, so you don't have as many shifts like this one.' Volpe, who divides her time between Berlin and New York, says she was gratified to see nurses going in groups to see the film, and hoped it would make the rest of the audience into better patients. 'Nurses should be at the very top of our social hierarchy but we live in a world where it's just the opposite,' she says. 'This film is a love letter to the profession.' While the film is set in Europe's creaking but still intact social infrastructure, Volpe said she saw in the USnited States where Donald Trump's swingeing cuts to Medicaid, which mainly serves poor and disabled people, threatened to hurt the most vulnerable. 'You see a great cruelty in all these measures,' she says. 'Elon Musk said he saw empathy as the biggest problem of our time which is of course completely monstrous. The least an artist can do is to push back against that. Sooner or later we're all going to be dependent on that person standing by the bed.' Late Shift will be released in the UK and Ireland on 1 August
