Cam Schlitter pitches a shutout as the New York Yankees defeat the Philadelphia Phillies 1-0 in the series opener. Schlitter bounces back from a previous start, when he lasted 4 1/3 innings in a loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday, and pitches again after four days’ rest. He allows three hits and works into the eighth inning, recording 12 strikeouts while throwing 68 of his 99 pitches for strikes. The lone run of the game comes from Paul Goldschmidt, who hits a home run to lead off the fourth inning. With that advantage, the Yankees’ pitching holds the Phillies scoreless through the remainder of the game. Multiple reports describe Schlitter’s performance as the key factor, emphasizing his strikeout total and ability to limit Philadelphia’s offense during the low-scoring matchup.
