New York Yankees starting pitcher Max Fried was sensational on Thursday night against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. Things reached a sad low in August, when Fried’s collection of consecutive bad outings had fans wondering if the Yankees should regret signing him. It’s that Fried seemed to be getting worse as the season wore on, which made New York’s starting rotation look doomed. Max Fried has set a new career-high with 174 strikeouts this season. If this is the Max Fried the Yankees get in a couple weeks, they have a shot to make a run in October.
