Schlittler Strikes 12 as Yankees Edge Phillies 1-0
Cam Schlittler dominated the Phillies, tossing 7 1/3 scoreless innings with 12 strikeouts and three hits allowed while walking none, lowering his ERA to 2.07. Paul Goldschmidt provided the game's only run with a fourth-inning homer off Jesús Luzardo, and the Yankees held on for a 1-0 win to heighten their playoff push. Schlittler improved to 10-6 after a four-day rest, strengthening New York’s rotation as they stay within striking distance in the AL East race. The bullpen preserved the shutout, with Brent Headrick escaping a bases-loaded jam in the eighth and David Bednar closing out the ninth for the save. Schlittler remarked that an All-Star-related disappointment fueled his motivation upon returning to Philadelphia for the performance. The win leaves the Yankees two games behind the AL East-leading Rays.
