Max Fried did not have his stuff once again, however, Ben Rice and the Bombers’ offense came to the rescue in a 12-8 win over the Cardinals to secure the three-game set. Rice recorded seven RBIs and three hits, including a go-ahead fourth-inning three-run homer — his 18th of the year — to give the Yanks a 6-5 lead.

Yankees starting pitcher Max Fried shines amid team struggles, joining Dwight Gooden and Johan Santana with a rare feat in 175 career starts.
