Yankees' starter Max Fried would have taken a no-hitter into the eighth inning, but a scoring change was made. Then, he gave up a clean single in the eighth.

TAMPA — Before Max Fried could actually lose his no-hitter, it was lost for him in the middle of the eighth. As Fried jogged out to the mound for the bottom of the eighth working on a no-hit bid through seven innings, the official scorer announced a controversial scoring change to give the Rays their first hit of the day.

Led by Fried and Aaron Judge (seven homers, 25 RBI, 1.202 OPS), the Yankees have started 14-8 and sit atop the AL East by two games. The rest of the starting rotation has struggled at times, hampered by injuries to Garrett Cole, Luis Gil and Clarke Schmidt, but Fried has been as advertised.
