Max Fried Strikes Out Seven in No-Decision Against Cubs

Max Fried started for the New York Yankees in their road matchup against the Chicago Cubs on August 1, 2026. In his latest outing, Fried allowed one run on two hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over 5.1 innings, though he did not factor into the decision in the 5-2 loss. The Yankees' bullpen ultimately floundered late, wasting a solid performance by Fried in the series-evening defeat.
