Max Fried worked a 1-2-3 fifth inning and is now at 80 pitches. He can probably give the Yankees one more inning. He has six strikeouts, including two in the fifth inning

The Yankees have a fully rested bullpen at their disposal, though some more offense would help make some decisions easier for Aaron Boone and his staff.
