Max Fried helps the Yankees beat the Red Sox 5-3 to strengthen playoff position

BOSTON (AP) --- Max Fried earned his major league-leading 17th win and Jazz
Chisholm Jr. had three hits --- including a solo homer that moved him to the
brink of the 30-30 club --- leading the New York Yankees to a 5-3 victory over
the Boston Red Sox on Saturday.
Fried (17-5) permitted two runs and nine hits in 5 1/3 innings. He was working
on a shutout before Alex Bregman went deep with two down in the fifth.
Jarren Duran hit a solo homer in the eighth for Boston, but the Yankees added
one in the ninth against closer Aroldis Chapman when Aaron Judge singled, took
second on a wild pitch and scored on Cody Bellinger's double.
David Bednar pitched the ninth for his 24th save.
Chisholm had his third straight multihit game and drove in three runs. He stole
his 29th and 30th bases of the season on Friday night and needs one home run to
become the third player in franchise history with at least 30 homers and 30
stolen bases. Alfonso Soriano (2002 and '03) did it twice.
The Yankees tagged Brayan Bello (11-7) for two runs in the first, sending eight
men to the plate and scoring on Bellinger's sacrifice fly and Chisholm's
infield single.
Key moment The Red Sox chased Fried in the sixth with three consecutive singles that cut the deficit to 4-2. But Luke Weaver came in and struck out Ceddanne Rafaela and Romy Gonzalez to end the inning.
Key stat The Yankees have beaten Boston three games in a row since losing eight straight against their AL East rivals. With Saturday's win, New York pulled 2 1/2 games ahead of Boston in the race for the AL's top wild card, which would give the Yankees home-field advantage in a possible first-round matchup with the Red Sox.
Up next Yankees RHP Will Warren (8-6) will face Boston LHP Garrett Crochet (15-5) in the series finale on Sunday. ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb
