Max Fried's Yankees spring training debut arrived, Cody Bellinger and Anthony Volpe each had two hits, and Dominic Smith's roster case continued as New York scored a 12-3 win over Pittsburgh Pirates Monday at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Fla.
Fried "looked good," as Aaron Boone told the YES Network broadcast, in his first spring training start with New York.
"Stuff was good -- a little hot with the heater," Boone said. "He was up to 97 (mph) with the fastball, but looked like it had good movement, too, executed a lot of different pitches. You've got to look at the repertoire. He can do so many things with the baseball and such a large arsenal. I thought he got into a pretty good rhythm. Overall, I thought he threw the ball well -- a successful day."
Before Fried left with two on and one out in the third, he had kept the Pirates scoreless while striking out two, walking one, hitting one and allowing two knocks. Ryan Anderson subsequently entered in relief, and two batters later, allowed a Joey Bart home run with two outs that tied the game at 3-3 while charging two earned runs to Fried.
Ultimately, Fried's 1-2-3 first inning and scoreless second set the table for a solid debut in what was his first live action since Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series Oct. 2 against the San Diego Padres.
"Getting through healthy, that's the most important thing, just being able to check the box, get back out there, kind of get the swing of the game, get the competitive juices going and coming out healthy," Fried told YES Network of what he took away from his debut.
Respectively batting third and fourth, Bellinger and Volpe showed potential signs of things to come in the Yankees' lineup.
The Yankees go across Tampa Bay to BayCare Ballpark in Clearwater, Fla., Tuesday and play the Philadelphia Phillies at 1:05 p.m. Right-handed pitcher Will Warren, who has allowed one hit while striking out seven and walking one in five scoreless innings over two appearances with one start this spring, is set to start for New York.
