Schlittler Shines with 13 Ks

Cam Schlittler lit up the scoreboard Friday night, striking out 13 batters in just six innings — his first double-digit K game of the season and a historic performance for the Yankees. At just 25, he became the youngest pitcher in team history to notch 13 strikeouts without issuing a walk, firing 66 of 96 pitches for strikes and clocking his fastball at 98 mph. The Yankees cruised to a 5-0 win over the Reds, powered by Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s solo homer and Ben Rice’s three-run blast. With Aaron Judge sidelined, the offense stepped up and the team has now won 10 of their last 15 games. Schlittler’s ERA dropped to 1.71 — the lowest for a Yankees starter through 16 outings since Whitey Ford in 1964. Meanwhile, the Reds struggled mightily, striking out 17 times, and are already missing key pieces like Elly De La Cruz, rehabbing from a hamstring strain. This win proves the Yankees are firing on all cylinders — and Schlittler is the ace of the future. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
