New York Yankees ace Max Fried didn\u2019t lose his no-hitter Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays in the conventional sense \u2014 he lost it due to a controversial scorer\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n
Heading into the bottom of the eighth inning, Fried had a no-hitter going against the Rays on the road, until the official scorer decided to overturn an error from two innings prior.<\/p>\n

In the bottom of the sixth, Yankees first baseman Paul Goldschmidt booted a ground ball hit by Rays rookie Chandler Simpson, one of the fastest players in the league. Goldschmidt was about 10 feet off the bag when the scorer initially recorded it as an error.<\/p>\n
Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay blasted the decision to take away the error and end Fried\u2019s no-hit bid.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am absolutely flabbergasted, ladies and gentlemen. The official scorer here at Steinbrenner Field, a man by the name of Bill Matthews, has changed the Simpson E3 into a hit, while the Yankees were in the dugout,\u201d said Kay. \u201cJust unfathomable. Either you call it when it happens, you don\u2019t wait three innings to go by. It\u2019s just unbelievable.\u201d<\/p>\n

The controversy was quickly overshadowed when Fried surrendered a clean hit to Jake Magnum \u2014 the first batter he faced in the bottom of the eighth.<\/p>\n
In the end, Fried threw a masterpiece in New York\u2019s 4-0 win \u2014 going 7\u2154 innings, giving up two hits, two walks, and striking out two, while lowering his ERA to 1.42.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
