Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman's wife, Reagan, hit the road for the trip to New York. Meanwhile, their son, Knox, stayed back to watch his dad play the New York Yankees at Fenway Park.
Fried started his season turnaround in his last start against the Red Sox tossing six scoreless on August 22nd and he picked up right where he left off.
