Fried inked an eight-year, $218 million contract with New York, blowing away industry expectations. Boston came in at seven years and $190 million.

That fluky infield hit from Ramírez turned out to be the Guardians’ only knock of the night against Fried, who fired six scoreless with seven K’s in yet another win.

Max Fried improved to 8-1 with six shutout innings and the Yankees took the lead for good in the fourth on Cody Bellinger's two-run home run.
