In a game the New York Yankees lost 6-3 to the Boston Red Sox, right-hander Cam Schlittler made history by pitching five innings of shutout baseball. He allowed only five hits, walked two batters, and struck out nine before leaving the game. Schlittler’s performance brought his ERA to 1.62, the second-lowest by a Yankees pitcher in their first 17 starts since 1913, just behind Ray Caldwell’s 1.60 in 1914.
