Yankees, Chicago Cubs

New York Yankees left-hander Max Fried exited Saturday's 5-2 loss to the visiting Chicago Cubs with a blister on his left thumb after laboring through three innings.
The Yankees avoided being on the wrong side of history and then decided they were not just going to stop there.
Fried taking the mound in the first inning at Truist Park in Atlanta would have been a made-for-TV moment. Alas, it won't happen.
After overcoming six hitless innings against the Padres on May 7, the New York Yankees bounced back from seven hitless innings against the Mariners on Thursday.
