ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) --- Cam Schlitter gave up one run and two hits in eight
superb innings, and the New York Yankees scored five two-out runs in 10th in a
6-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday night.
New York loaded the bases with one out in the 10th when Jose Caballero singled,
the automatic runner holding at third, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. walked against
reliever Luke Murphy (0-2).
Murphy got Luis Garcia Jr. to pop out, but Austin Wells stroked a two-run
single to right, Cody Bellinger hit an RBI single to center, Trent Grisham hit
an RBI single to left, and Ben Rice had an RBI single to right for a 6-1 lead.
David Bednar (7-3) struck out three in a scoreless ninth for the win. Yankees
reliever Michael Fulmer gave up a two-run homer to Moiss Ballesteros in the
bottom of the 10th.
A marquee matchup between two of baseball's best pitchers did not disappoint,
Schlittler striking out nine and walking none and Angels left-hander Reid
Detmers allowing one run and six hits in seven innings, striking out eight and
walking none.
Schlittler, who has an AL-best 2.04 ERA, retired 20 of the first 21 batters he
faced, his only blemish a soft single to left by Vaughn Grissom in the second.
But he grooved a 95-mph cutter to Grissom in the seventh, and the Angels first
baseman drove it over the center-field wall for a solo homer and a 1-1 tie.
It was Schlittler's franchise-record 19th start in which he has allowed one or
no runs, moving him ahead of Ron Guidry (1978), Whitey Ford (1964) and Jack
Chesbro (1904), who had 18 each.
Detmers, who has a major league-best 1.52 ERA since the All-Star break, gave up
a run in the fourth on Amed Rosario's RBI double.
The game was delayed for about 10 minutes in the sixth when a 79.5-mph line
drive off the bat of Rice hit a photographer in the head in the first-base
camera well. The photographer was able to walk to a medical emergency vehicle
and shake Rice's hand before being carted away.
Up next
Yankees: LHP Max Fried (4-4, 2.80 ERA) was set to face Padres RHP Walker
Buehler (8-6, 4.66 ERA) Friday night in San Diego.
Angels: RHP Ryan Johnson (3-7, 5.47 ERA) was scheduled to oppose Pirates RHP
Jared Jones (2-6, 4.83 ERA) Friday night in Pittsburgh.
