New York Yankees pitcher Max Fried lost his no-hit bid in the strangest of ways Sunday—while he wasn't even on the mound. The left-hander was just six outs away from pulling it off when the Rays' official scorer changed what had been recorded as an error earlier in the game into a hit before the start of the eighth inning.

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.

Max Fried lost a no-hit bid in the eighth inning when the official scorer changed an earlier decision to a hit, and the Yankees went on to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-0 Sunday in a game that featured manager Aaron Boone's first ejection of the season.

Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees were angry over the home run that wasn’t. Judge drove a changeup from Tampa Bay’s Eric Orze deep down the left-field line, high above the foul pole at Steinbrenner Field.

New York led by a score of 3-0 in the top of the eighth inning when Judge come up to bat. He hit what appeared to be a towering home run to left field, though the third base umpire ruled the ball foul. A review was ordered, but the call ultimately stood. Reporters asked Judge about the call during the postgame interview.
