The New York Yankees secured a 3-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs, thanks to timely hitting and superb pitching, including a standout performance from Luis Gil in his first game back from the injured list. Aaron Judge and Austin Wells provided crucial RBIs early in the game, while Gil pitched six scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and striking out seven. The Yankees are also set to bolster their rotation with the return of Clarke Schmidt, who will start on Saturday after recovering from a lat strain. This marks the first time this season New York will have six healthy starters, with manager Aaron Boone considering a temporary six-man rotation. The team faces critical decisions as they approach the playoffs, especially regarding their pitching staff.
