Overview

• Toronto ended New York’s season with a 5-2 win in Game 4 of the ALDS.
• Cam Schlittler started the elimination game and worked 6.1 innings with two earned runs on eight hits, no walks, and two strikeouts as the Yankees’ offense mustered only two runs.
• Social media piled on after the loss, with Barstool’s Dave Portnoy posting a sarcastic congratulatory message and NESN teasing Schlittler about being free to watch the Bruins.
• The trolling drew on recent history, as Schlittler had dominated Boston in the Wild Card round with eight shutout innings and had leaned into his Bruins ties, including a message telling a fan to prepare for “the bruins szn.”
• Despite the offseason noise, the 24-year-old capped a strong rookie year with a 2.96 ERA and 84 strikeouts in 73 innings, and Aaron Boone called him “a future staple of our rotation.”
