Fried Against the Worst Record in Baseball
Max Fried is 4-4 and gets a Colorado team that is 55-89 and has allowed 824 runs, more than anyone in the National League. Tomoyuki Sugano at 12-8 has been the Rockies’ most dependable starter in a season with very little else to point at.
Cam Schlittler got Tuesday’s win to move to 13-6, with David Bednar closing for his 32nd save.
What It Means for the Race
New York at 82-62 is four games behind Tampa Bay in the AL East and holds the best run differential in the American League at plus 119. That number says the Yankees have been better than their record, and the East is still reachable with three weeks to go.
