**Yankees Host Athletics as Max Fried Makes All-Star Case**
Bronx, NY – The New York Yankees return to Yankee Stadium this Friday, June 27, 2025, for a three-game series against the Oakland Athletics. Game 1 is set for 7:05 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on YES Network and NBC Sports California. Streaming options are available on fuboTV (free trial) and MLB.TV.
While fans gear up for the series and hunt for tickets, the buzz surrounding Yankees pitcher Max Fried is growing. Fried, in his first season with the team after signing a massive $218 million contract, became the first pitcher in the majors to reach 10 wins this season, leading the Yankees to a 7-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday.
Manager Aaron Boone acknowledged Fried’s performance is putting him in contention to be the American League’s starting pitcher for the All-Star Game in Atlanta on July 15. Fried’s impressive stats include a 1.92 ERA (second-lowest in the majors) and dominance after Yankees losses.
“He’s shown us why they paid him what they paid him,” said teammate Jazz Chisholm Jr. “To play behind him now is amazing.”
Fried remains focused on his upcoming starts, but the possibility of pitching in Atlanta for the All-Star Game would add a special significance to the honor.
