Yankees Beat Blue Jays 3-1 Behind a Great Start From Cam Schlittler

The Yankees won this game 3-1 as they got a great start from Cam Schlitter. He came into this game leading all American League pitchers in Wins Above Replacement. One day, he is going to make a lot of money, but this season, barring disaster, he will start the All-Star game for the American League, and he is the front-runner for the American League Cy Young Award.

Unfortunately for the youngster, the fact of the matter now is that the Yankees needed to win all of his starts. That is a lot of pressure. He was opposed by Kevin Guasman of the Toronto Blue Jays. He is one of five pitchers who have made thirty starts in the majors in the last five seasons. They are all Blue Jays. Do you agree that Schlittler is going to start the All-Star game for the American League?

Yankees Against Blue Jays Game Summary June 13

The Yankees were looking for a win in this game after losing last night. Here is how the game played out.

In the third inning, Kazuma Okamoto homered for the Blue Jays. They took a 1-0 lead. This was a mistake by Schlittler, but he hit a long home run last night, too. In the fourth inning, Jasson Dominguez tied the game with a solo home run of his own. He only arrived an hour before the game and was still wearing his batting gloves from Scranton.

In the eighth inning, Paul Goldschmidt hit a two-run home run. Cody Bellinger scored as well. The Bronx Bombers took a late 3-1 in a game where there was not much scoring. David Bednar struck out the side in the bottom of the ninth inning. 3-1 was the final score.

Roster Moves

Trent Grisham was placed on the ten-day Injured List after he strained his hamstring. The team called up Jasson Dominguez, who was on a rehabilitation stint of his own down at AAA Scranton-Wilkes Barre. Dominguez was in the lineup today, playing right field. Grisham, for his part, was running on the field before the game today. That is good. The team hopes to get him back quickly. He was red hot before he got hurt. He batted .370 in his previous twenty games. It seems the bloopers are falling for him; they were not before.

Profound

World Cup fever is sweeping the league. This is especially the case in Toronto, where the Bronx Bombers are. Team Canada played there yesterday too, against Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the game last night, Michael Kaye, who does the play-by-play on the Yankees television broadcasts, made a very interesting point. Baseball is the only sport where you have to wait your turn in the lineup. In other sports, like soccer, you can pass to the best player on your team to take the shot. This is the case in other sports too. Baseball is different, and this is just one more way baseball is like life.
