Max Fried improved to 8-1 with six shutout innings and the Yankees took the lead for good in the fourth on Cody Bellinger's two-run home run.

Jonathan Loáisiga pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to secure the shutout, 4-0, and get the Yankees back in the series win column. It’s a much-needed way to bounce back from the meeting with the Dodgers, as the Yankees have now won eight of their last nine series.

Max Fried allowed one hit in six sharp innings to become the fourth eight-game winner in the major leagues as the New York Yankees recorded a 4-0 victory over the visiting Cleveland Guardians on Thursday.
