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.

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.

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.
