The Yankees were rolling and should have benefited from having Max Fried starting this game. Fried did give up his first run of the season, but the Yanks immediately gave him a 3-1 lead with a three-run home run. That first-inning home run came against Miami Starting Pitcher Pete Fairbanks. The game was delayed by…
