Max Fried Makes Honest Volpe Statement
After the game, Max Fried (who was the starting pitcher) was asked about Volpe (via YES Network).
Reporter: “You mentioned a good team win. Just what was it like to see Anthony Volpe have the type of night that he had after being sent down and now getting another opportunity up at this level?”
Fried: “You root for games like that, especially with how hard he’s been working and everything he’s been doing down in Triple-A, coming up, new position for the first time up here, and just making an immediate impact. Three hits, grand slam, obviously, to help kind of put that game out of reach. Great teammate, works hard, and really couldn’t be happier for him.”
