Max Fried, pitching for the New York Yankees, lost a no-hit bid against the Tampa Bay Rays after an official scorer changed a sixth-inning call from an error to a hit. Rookie Chandler Simpson's grounder deflected off first baseman Cody Bellinger, originally ruled an error, was deemed a hit upon review. Fried, who allowed only two hits in 7 2/3 innings, continued to earn praise as the Yankees secured a 4-0 victory fueled by strong defensive plays.
"Rookie Chandler Simpson hit a grounder into the hole between first and second and reached after the ball bounced off first baseman Cody Bellinger's glove, which led to a pivotal ruling change."
"Official scorer Bill Mathews revised the sixth-inning play from an error to a hit after reviewing video replays, stating that Simpson would have beaten any throw to first base."
