The New York Yankees turn to Max Fried after a 10-1 defeat in Game 1 of the American League Division Series against the Toronto Blue Jays. The left-hander posted a 19-5 record with a 2.86 ERA across 32 starts this season, and he threw 6 1/3 scoreless innings in the Wild Card round before manager Aaron Boone removed him on Saturday. Fried holds a 4-1 record with a 2.70 ERA against Toronto in his last seven appearances.
The Yankees bullpen needs relief after Game 1 stretched their relievers. Luis Gil lasted fewer than three innings, and Tim Hill, Camilo Doval, Luke Weaver, Fernando Cruz, and Paul Blackburn combined for the final 19 outs. Toronto counters with rookie Trey Yesavage, who carries a 3.21 ERA with 16 strikeouts over three starts. The series moves to the Bronx for Games 3, and 4.
