Yankees Lose 10th-Inning Duel as Schlittler Shines

Cam Schlittler delivered a dominant seven-inning start for the Yankees, striking out 11 and allowing one run on three hits in a 2-1, 10-inning loss to the Braves, leaving his season era at 2.21 as New York’s offense again failed to provide support. The Yankees’ lineup, boosted by post-deadline acquisitions, managed only four hits and squandered chances, highlighting ongoing offensive struggles despite strong pitching from Schlittler. Atlanta’s win was marred earlier in the series by Braves ace Chris Sale’s ejection after a balk call, his fourth career ejection, following a heated exchange with umpires. In other action, Jake Bauers delivered a walk-off single in the 10th to lift the Brewers over the Twins, with Brice Turang scoring the decisive run, while Luis Lara contributed defensively late. The weekend coverage also underscored the Yankees’ rotation pressures as the offense remains the primary issue for the club.
