That fluky infield hit from Ramírez turned out to be the Guardians’ only knock of the night against Fried, who fired six scoreless with seven K’s in yet another win.

Cleveland’s best chance to battle back was in the seventh. After Mark Leiter Jr. loaded the bases out of the bullpen, Yankees manager Aaron Boone summoned lefty sidearmer Tim Hill with one man out. He struck Naylor out before getting Noel to pop out to shallow right and end the threat.
