Overview

  • His fastball reached 100 mph and accounted for the club’s seven highest-velocity pitches this season.
  • Schlittler’s first major-league strikeout came against American League home run leader Cal Raleigh.
  • Jazz Chisholm Jr. drove in four runs with two homers while Aaron Judge added a two-run double and Jasson Dominguez recorded three hits in a 13-hit attack.
  • Manager Aaron Boone praised Schlittler’s poise under pressure and confirmed he will make at least one start after the All-Star break to stabilize a rotation hit by injuries.
  • The win extended New York’s three-game streak and pulled the Yankees to within 2½ games of the AL East lead as they head into the midseason break.
