This article was originally published on www.si.com/mlb/yankees as Yankees' Max Fried Hits Career Milestone. Max Fried has been a star this season, and last night he reached a new milestone: a career-best 111 pitches over 6 2/3 innings, helping the New York Yankees to their 7-5 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.

The latter came when Boone tried to squeeze one extra out from Fried after he walked catcher Nick Fortes. Though a cheer went up from the Stadium crowd after Boone seemingly went to pull Fried but left him in the game, Taylor Walls’ double allowed Fortes to score from first.

When Hall of Famer Pedro Martínez watched Max Fried on Tuesday, he saw a pitcher who “flipped the switch and locked in.” The Red Sox legend praised the New York Yankees ace with some pretty intense words.
