Overview

  • Cam Schlittler struck out nine over 6 2/3 innings in Friday's 5-2 win at Citi Field.
  • The outing pushed his season to 6-1 with a 1.35 ERA, a 0.78 WHIP, and 68 strikeouts in 60 innings.
  • New York improved to 28-17 with the rivalry win, while the Mets slipped to 18-26 at the bottom of the NL East.
  • Injuries reshaped the night, with Max Fried placed on the injured list for an elbow bone bruise and reports of a broken fibula for former Yankees closer Clay Holmes after a 111 mph comebacker.
  • With Gerrit Cole still building back and Fried sidelined, Schlittler now carries frontline duty that could shape the Yankees' push in the AL East.
