Max Fried allowed one unearned run over seven innings to help the New York Yankees salvage the finale of a three-game series against the host Cincinnati Reds, 7-1 on Wednesday night.

One night after getting ejected for arguing balls and strikes, Jazz Chisholm Jr. belted a key, two-run, tape-measure homer to help the Yankees snap their five-game skid to the Reds dating to last year.

Trent Grisham and Jasson Dominguez had four hits apiece for the Yankees, who won for just the fourth time in 13 games. Dominguez set a career high when he doubled in the ninth.

Elly De La Cruz had a pair of hits for the Reds, who had their three-game win streak snapped.

Fried (10-2) gave up four hits, struck out seven and walked one over 106 pitches, becoming just the third Yankees pitcher since 1962 to be the first in the majors to 10 wins in a season.

Cincinnati scored its only run in the fourth. Spencer Steer singled to Chisholm at third, but Chisholm's throw was wild, allowing De La Cruz to score from second.

Cementing his role as stopper, Fried improved to 8-1 this season following a Yankees loss, lowering his ERA to 0.93 in 10 starts following a team loss this season.

Adding to his impressive night was Fried's major-league-leading seventh pickoff, when he caught Santiago Espinal too far off the bag at second for the final out of the fifth.

Cincinnati starter Brady Singer (7-6) was victimized by questionable defense and bad luck in the first two innings, driving his pitch count to 47 through the first two frames. Singer was charged with four runs on six hits over five innings, striking out nine and walking three while throwing 103 pitches.

Singer worked around a bloop double that Friedl could not see in the sun and a walk by striking out three in the first. The Yankees loaded the bases with no outs in the second but scored only once, thanks to three more strikeouts from Singer. Grisham delivered an RBI single.

Singer's luck ran out in the third when Friedl appeared to make a sliding catch on a line drive from Giancarlo Stanton, but the ball popped out of the center fielder's glove. Chisholm crushed the next pitch an estimated 433 feet to the stands in right for a 3-0 Yankees lead.

Anthony Volpe padded New York's lead with a sacrifice fly in the fifth, then Judge and Stanton had RBI hits in the sixth. Austin Wells added an RBI single in the ninth.
