Max Fried took a no-hit bid into the eighth inning of Sunday ’s 4 -0 win at Steinbrenner Field .

As he toed the rubber in the eighth , a Yankees error from earlier in the day was changed to a hit by the Rays ’ official scorer.

The play in question came in the sixth inning when Chandler Simpson hit a soft grounder to Paul Goldschmidt at first .

It looked as if Aaron Judge had clobbered a towering bases-empty blast of his own in the eighth , as replay seemed to show him launching a clearly fair ball way beyond Steinbrenner Field’s left field seats.

However, the bomb was ruled foul, ultimately leading to a strikeout for Judge and an ejection for Boone .

The Yankees now head to Cleveland for a three -game series against the Guardians .
