Yankees Rookie Sensation Cam Schlittler Stumbles Against Blue Jays

Summary
- Rookie Cam Schlittler pulled after 1.2 innings, allowing 4 earned runs
- Blue Jays lead Yankees 5-1 in 6th inning
- Veteran Ryan Yarbrough helps keep Yankees in the game
On September 6th, 2025, the New York Yankees were looking to take the AL East lead from the Toronto Blue Jays by sweeping their division rivals at Yankee Stadium. However, their plans hit a snag as rookie sensation Cam Schlittler, who had been electric since his major league debut, finally hit a speed bump against the Jays.
Schlittler was pulled after just 1.2 innings, having allowed 4 earned runs. This marked the first time the 24-year-old right-hander failed to get past the 5th inning. Despite Schlittler's struggles, veteran reliever Ryan Yarbrough helped keep the Yankees in the game, though he did surrender a home run to Toronto slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
As of the 6th inning, the Blue Jays maintained a 5-1 lead over the Yankees. While the Bronx Bombers' offense is capable of erasing a four-run deficit quickly, Schlittler's first rough outing was a setback in the team's quest to overtake their division rivals. Yankees captain Aaron Judge did return to the outfield for the series opener, providing a boost, but the team's hopes of sweeping the Blue Jays were in jeopardy.
