Cam Schlittler earns win for New York Yankees against Colorado Rockies

New York Yankees pitcher Cam Schlittler delivered seven innings of one-run ball in a victory against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday. Schlittler allowed three hits and struck out 10 batters without issuing a walk. The right-hander surrendered a solo home run in the third inning but prevented further damage while retiring 11 consecutive batters during one stretch of the game. This performance marked his sixth straight start allowing one run or fewer. Schlittler now holds an ERA below 2.50 with 200 strikeouts through 30 starts this season, joining Ron Guidry as the only pitchers in franchise history to reach those milestones. The Yankees ace is scheduled to take the mound again for the series finale against the New York Mets this Sunday in the Bronx.
