Five Yankee errors made for a long afternoon for Fried, who surrendered six runs — only two of which were earned — over 4.2 innings.

Fried, a two-time All-Star and former Cy Young runner-up, was one of the most coveted arms on the free-agent market this past offseason. Over his eight seasons in Atlanta, he posted a 3.07 ERA with 863 strikeouts, three Gold Gloves, and a reputation as one of the league’s top left-handers.
