The fate of the New York Yankees’ 2026 season hangs in the balance tonight.At 8 P.M.

ET, Max Fried will take the hill in Game 3 of the ALDS against Fordham alum Nick Martinez’s Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium in what could be the decisive game of the series.As a quick refresher, Tampa Bay took the first two contests in Saint Petersburg prior to this evening’s showdown in the Bronx.Game 1 was a pitcher’s duel led by 7 2/3 innings of no-hit ball by Rays ace Drew Rasmussen (and an unfortunate Austin Wells base-running blunder) while the second skirmish went to Kevin Cash’s club after a number of errors set Cam Schlittler and the Yanks behind in Game 2.“If we don’t win, we go home.

There’s nothing else to save anything for,” Fried said on Tuesday.“So I understand that the leash is probably going to be pretty small, and we have to do whatever we can to win.

So, for me, it’s just leave everything out there.”As an added wrinkle to the hoopla, Fried’s girlfriend Reni Meyer-Whalley is pregnant and may give birth any day.Still, he plans to pitch.“I’ve got a really supportive family that understands that this is my job, and it’s not going to affect what happens [Wednesday],” Fried noted in a press conference.Tonight, we’ll see if he can give the Yankees life.Here’s how to tune in to the Game 3 of the best-of-five ALDS without cable.Game 2 of the Yankees-Rays ALDS is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m.
