Player Of the Game
The player of the game was Fried. He was very good, the ace the team needs. Fried pitched seven scoreless innings. He struck out six, walked one, and surrendered only three hits. The lefty was completely dominant. He seems like he added some muscle in the offseason. If he did, it suits him. There really was no one who played well for the Mariners. They got only four hits, and their ace, Logan Gilbert, gave up five runs in 5.1 innings.
Turning Point
New York scored two runs in the first inning, but the three runs they scored in the sixth inning were the turning point of the game. After they scored those three runs, with how good their bullpen has been, there was essentially no chance for the Seattle Mariners to come back in this game.
