The New York Yankees defeated the Boston Red Sox 6-1 on Sunday at Yankee Stadium. Cam Schlittler delivered a strong outing while Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Cody Bellinger powered the offense in the eighth inning.
Cam Schlittler allowed four hits and one walk over 5 2/3 innings while striking out five. The right-hander carried a shutout into the sixth before Willson Contreras ended the bid with an extra-base hit. Schlittler credited minor mechanical tweaks for improved velocity, with his fastball reaching 99.5 mph. Manager Aaron Boone noted the pitcher's stuff remained sharp despite a higher pitch count. Cody Bellinger broke a 1-1 tie with a solo homer in the eighth. Jazz Chisholm Jr. followed by borrowing Aaron Judge's bat and hitting a three-run homer to cap the scoring. Chisholm said the heavier bat helped him stay compact at the plate. Boone praised the timely contributions as the Yankees continue without Judge in the lineup.
