The Yankees played to a 3-3 tie with the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday.
-Max Fried wasn't necessarily at the top of his game, but he had an effective outing nonetheless. The lefty went 5.1 innings, allowing three earned runs on four hits, including a two-run homer by Junior Caminero in the first inning. Fried walked three and struck out four, finishing his spring camp with a 3.38 ERA.
-The Yankees didn't have a hit through the first four innings, but the offense came to life in the fifth when Anthony Volpe lined an opposite-field home run for the Bombers' first hit of the game. Austin Wells followed that up with a two-run shot to put the Yankees ahead. Wells now has six home runs this spring, and he's likely won the leadoff hitter job come Opening Day.
-Aaron Judge's rough go of it this spring continued Sunday, as he went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts, though he did reach base on a walk. The Yankees' captain is hitting just .129 this spring.
-Paul Goldschmidt was back in the lineup for a second straight day after missing some time with a sore back. The veteran went 1-for-3 with a single and a strikeout, and he's now hitting .297 this spring.
Wells, who now has a 1.263 OPS this spring.
The Yankees finish their 2025 spring training schedule with a trip to Port St. Lucie to play the Mets on Monday afternoon, with first pitch on SNY at 1:10 p.m.
