Cam Schlittler continues to excel for the Yankees, joining elite company after another stellar performance against the Red Sox
1) Tied 1-1 in the bottom of the eighth, the Yankees struck for five runs off relievers Justin Slaten and newcomer Joe La Sorsa, giving them a 6-1 victory and a split of the rain-shortened series. The Sox’ only run came on a Willson Contreras RBI double in the sixth inning.
Now, the Red Sox are 27-36 on the season and in last place in the American League East. Things unfortunately, haven't taken a turn for the better yet and that could mean negative things for the franchise as we inch closer and closer to the 2026 Major League Baseball trade deadline in August.
Cam Schlittler protected a shutout until his final pitch of the afternoon on Sunday against the Red Sox, watching Ceddanne Rafaela slide home safely on Willson Contreras’ game-tying two-out double to left field.
