Fried pitched three innings, allowing seven runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out one batter in Sunday's 13-7 loss to the Blue Jays in Game 2 of the ALDS.

EDGE Analysis

Fried was able to toss a scoreless first inning before the wheels quickly fell off thereafter. The left-hander allowed two runs in the second and three in the third, and he was ultimately removed from the game after allowing the first two batters to reach in the bottom of the fourth. The outing matched Fried's shortest of the year, while the seven runs given up also matched a season high for the 29-year-old.

Fried pitched 6.1 shutout innings during Tuesday's loss to the Red Sox, giving up four hits and three walks while collecting six strikeouts. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old lefty pitched his way out of a couple of jams in the fourth and fifth innings to keep the Sox off the scoreboard through six. However, MLB's highest-scoring offense wasn't able to replicate its regular-season success against Garrett Crochet, forcing Fried to settle for a no-decision in his first postseason appearance as a Yankee after Luke Weaver gave up two runs following Fried's removal in the seventh. If New York can come back to take the series from Boston, Fried will presumably get the call to start against Toronto in Game 2 of the ALDS on Sunday.

Fried (19-5) picked up the win Wednesday against the White Sox, allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out seven over seven innings.

EDGE Analysis

Coming off arguably his best start of the year, when he blanked Baltimore over seven innings while striking out 13, the left-hander produced another gem Wednesday. Fried gave up back-to-back singles followed by a sacrifice fly to Lenyn Sosa in the second inning, but he was nearly flawless otherwise, generating 12 whiffs and notching at least seven strikeouts for the 14th time this season. The victory was the 31-year-old's seventh in his last eight starts and his sixth straight, securing him the top of MLB's wins leaderboard with 19. Fried finishes his first regular season with the Yankees having posted a 2.86 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 189:51 K:BB across 195.1 innings, cementing himself as one of most consistent arms fantasy managers could find.

Fried (18-5) picked up the win Thursday against the Orioles, allowing three hits and one walk in seven shutout innings. He struck out 13.

EDGE Analysis

Fried had Baltimore out of sorts, tying a career high with 13 punchouts while inducing an incredible 28 whiffs. It was the second time this season that the All-Star southpaw racked up double-digit strikeouts, and he pitched at least seven innings for the fourth time in his last five outings. Through 188.1 innings, Fried boasts a 2.92 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 182:49 K:BB. His next appearance could be his final regular-season start, which is tentatively set to come against a White Sox club with a paltry .611 OPS versus left-handed pitching since the beginning of September.

Fried (17-5) picked up the win Saturday, giving up two runs on nine hits and two walks over 5.1 innings in a 5-3 victory over the Red Sox. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

In the process, the southpaw moved ahead of teammate Carlos Rodon, as well as Milwaukee's Freddy Peralta, for the major-league lead in wins. Fried has gotten the win in four straight starts and hasn't lost since Aug. 10, going 5-0 over his last six outings with a 3.38 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 34:12 K:BB in 37.1 innings over that stretch. He likely doesn't have enough time left in the schedule to get to 20 wins, but Fried will look to continue his undefeated streak on the road next week in Baltimore.

Fried (16-5) yielded three runs on six hits and a walk over seven innings Sunday, striking out four and earning a win over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Fried gave up a pair of runs in the second inning and another in the third but finished his outing with four scoreless frames. In his first three starts of August, Fried coughed up 15 runs in 15 frames. However, he's since turned in four straight quality starts and dropped his season ERA back down to 3.02. The veteran southpaw has produced a 1.67 ERA with a 22:9 across 27 frames over his last four appearances. Fried is lined up to start in Boston next weekend.

Fried (15-5) allowed one run on four hits and three walks while striking out five over seven innings to earn the win over the Astros on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Fried has strung together three straight quality starts after opening August in poor form. Over those last three starts, he's given up two runs while posting an 18:8 K:BB across 20 innings. The southpaw trimmed his ERA to 2.98 and also has a 1.11 WHIP and 159:45 K:BB through 169 innings over 28 starts this season. Fried will get a big test in his next start, which is projected to be at home versus the Blue Jays this weekend.

Fried (14-5) picked up the win in Wednesday's 11-2 rout of the Nationals, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

A nine-run third inning by the Yankees put the game well out of reach, and Fried lost his shutout bid on an RBI single by CJ Abrams in the sixth. He racked up 32 called or swinging strikes among his 94 pitches (61 total strikes) en route to his 16th quality start of the season, and Fried will take a 3.06 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 154:42 K:BB over 162 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in Houston.

Fried did not factor into the decision in Friday's 1-0 loss to the Red Sox, allowing four hits and three walks with seven strikeouts over six scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

Fried racked up 19 whiffs on 99 pitches but got no help from the Yankees' offense. It was just his second quality start in six outings since the All-Star break and his first scoreless effort since June 5. The southpaw will take a 3.14 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 148:40 K:BB across 155 innings into a home matchup with the Nationals next week.

Fried (13-5) earned the win Saturday despite allowing seven runs on eight hits and a walk over five-plus innings in a 12-8 victory over St. Louis. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw's first win in August came in rocky fashion as he surrendered homers to Masyn Winn and Nolan Gorman. Fried is mired in a rough stretch, carrying a 6.80 ERA and 1.59 WHIP across 41 innings over his past eight starts dating back to the beginning of July. Despite his recent skid, Fried has still delivered an impressive debut season in New York, logging 149 innings with a 3.26 ERA and 1.12 WHIP over 25 starts.
