""I felt like his command was not as good those final few," Boone said. "He's just making so many big pitches, and his stuff was good. He gave us what we needed and felt really good about the outing he put forth, but I felt pretty convicted. Especially we got the double play, it's like, 'Let's go get one more hitter and be good.'""
""I definitely felt good at the end, coming out feeling good," Fried said. "I'm going to stay in until I get the ball taken from me.""
Aaron Boone pulled starter Max Fried after 6⅓ scoreless innings in Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series, electing to go to the bullpen after Fried induced a double play and reached 99 pitches. Fried threw 102 pitches with 63 strikes and allowed four hits while the Yankees led 1-0 on Anthony Volpe's solo home run. Reliever Luke Weaver walked the first batter, allowed a double and yielded Masataka Yoshida's pinch-hit two-run single. David Bednar gave up consecutive hits in the ninth. Weaver's effectiveness had declined after returning from a hamstring injury.
