Fried is a Los Angeles native and pitched at Harvard-Westlake High School. He was a first-round draft pick by the San Diego Padres in 2012 but never made a big-league appearance with them. In 2014, he was traded to Atlanta, where he put together an impressive run.

Similar to two weekends ago in Tampa, the Rays never had a chance again with Fried allowing one hit over seven innings in a 3-0 Yankees victory. All of the Yankees’ runs came on a fifth-inning homer by Paul Goldschmidt, who popped a two-out blast into the second row of the right-field seats off lefty reliever Mason Montgomery.
