Yankees Sweep Red Sox, Schlittler Shines

It's April 24th.

Welcome to MLB News Today, powered by AI, I'm Cory with the story.

The Yankees just swept the Red Sox at Fenway Park for the first time since 2021, and

Cam Schlittler was the star of Thursdays.

Finale.

The Lanky right-hander for Massachusetts, through eight strong innings, allowing just one

earned run while the Sox managed only one total run across the first two games.

Here this week, Schlittler hyped up the tension, predicting fans would boo him like a villain

since he grew up cheering for Boston, but now pitches.

For New York.

That talk lit up social media and Red Sox circles, but the crowds surprised him, staying mostly

respectful with plenty of Yankees supporters mixed in.

Schlittler called out the good people filling the seats, a far cry from his trash talk during

last October's playoff shut down of Boston.

His line featured just five strikeouts, yet the Red Sox offense crumbled with quick at bats

and weak hits, underscoring their recent struggles.

No real threat from them anytime soon.

This sweep leaves Boston fans rethinking defenses for their team, while Schlittler walks away

proving why the Yankees own that rivalry edge right now.
