Yankees' Cam Schlittler allows 1 run in 4-2 win over Red Sox, outmatching Payton Tolle's 11 strikeouts
Tolle made his 2026 MLB debut for Boston, while Schlittler continued his impressive season thus far for the Yankees.
Boston Red Sox pitcher Payton Tolle racked up 11 strikeouts, but Cam Schlittler allowed only one run over eight innings to lead the New York Yankees to a 4-2 win on Thursday at Fenway Park. Schlittler — a Walpole, Massachusetts, native — grew up a Red Sox fan and was excited to pitch in Boston. However, he and his family had received threats leading up to his Fenway Park debut.
The right-hander said that he regarded the threats more as trolling and didn’t believe it was necessary to get police involved. Cam Schlittler is through 8 innings at Fenway Park! His family is loving it 👏 pic.

Continuing the outstanding start to his season, he gave up four hits with five strikeouts. In his six starts thus far, he has allowed no runs in three of them while giving up three runs in two others. Schlittler allowed an unearned run in the second inning when Trevor Story reached base on an error by Yankees third baseman Amed Rosario.
