Yankees’ Cam Schlittler Wins MLB Debut, Leads Third Straight Victory

News summary

Cam Schlittler made an impressive major league debut for the New York Yankees against the Seattle Mariners, pitching 5 1/3 innings with seven strikeouts and a fastball averaging nearly 98 mph. Schlittler, called up to fill the rotation spot left by Clarke Schmidt's season-ending injury, allowed three runs on four hits, including two solo home runs, but earned the win in the Yankees' 9-6 victory. The 24-year-old right-hander's fastball stood out, reaching up to 100 mph multiple times, and he notably struck out MLB home run leader Cal Raleigh twice. The Yankees' manager and fans alike praised Schlittler's composed and effective pitching, with the rookie receiving a standing ovation upon exiting the game. This strong debut helped the Yankees secure their third consecutive win, narrowing the gap in the AL East standings, while temporarily easing the urgency to acquire another starting pitcher before the trade deadline. Contributions from Jazz Chisholm Jr., Aaron Judge, and Jasson Domínguez also powered the Yankees' offense during the game.
