Overview

  • Schlittler fired 5⅓ innings with seven strikeouts and a 100 mph fastball to secure a 9-6 win over the Mariners in his major league debut.
  • Manager Aaron Boone said Schlittler has earned at least one more big-league start, likely scheduled after the All-Star break.
  • The 24-year-old prospect was called up to replace Clarke Schmidt, who is sidelined for the season after tearing his UCL and will undergo Tommy John surgery.
  • Jazz Chisholm Jr. bolstered the victory with two home runs and four RBIs, lifting the Yankees to their third straight win.
  • New York’s rotation, already without Gerrit Cole and Luis Gil, has leaned on its farm system to sustain its pursuit of the division lead.
