Yankees Sweep Red Sox, Set AL Record

0:00On April 24th, Yankees just swept the Red Sox three games to nothing, capping it with a 4-2 win Thursday night at Finway. Cam Schlittler, the 25-year-old Reidy from Weymouth, shut down his hometown team, going eight innings on just four hits, two runs, one, earned while fanning five. That dropped his ERA to 1.77 and pushed New York's streak to a season high six wins. They're now 16-9, best record in the American League. Schlittler got support from family in the stands, his longest regular season start yet. Boston grabbed early leads on a throwing error. Marcelo Mayer's RBI double and Carlos Narvias is Homer, but the Yankees tied it in the fifth on jazz. Chism Jr's first dinger of the year, a short 333 footer around the pesky pole. The real drama hit in the seventh when New York loaded the bases off Danny Coulomb. Pinch hitter Cody Belinger delivered a two-run single. His fifth hit in 31 ad bats as a sub for the go ahead, first time since 19.

1:0367, the Yankees pulled that off, trailing at Finway, Aaron Judge added an RBI single to make it four to two. David Bednar slammed the door with a perfect ninth for his seventh save. Rookie Peyton Toley impressed in his first big league start this year, striking out 11 over six innings despite the loss. Redsox dropped to 9 and 16, now seven gains back, losers of five of their last six. Yankees head to Houston Friday with Will Warren on the hill against Lance McCullors, while Boston's Brian Bello faces Baltimore's Brandon Young, Momentum's building in the Bronx.
