Cam Schlittler, Yankees Win Game 1 Of Pivotal Rivalry Series Against Red Sox

Yankees edged Red Sox 1-0 in a classic pitchers’ duel — Paul Goldschmidt’s 430-foot solo homer off lefty Patrick Sandoval was the lone run.
Boston’s rally was killed by a heads-up baserunning blunder (Rafaela caught napping on a flyout) and slick Yankee defense, including Cody Bellinger’s throw home.
Cam Schlittler, a Massachusetts native, struck out eight and notched his 200th career K; the four-game Bronx set is huge with both clubs two games apart in the AL East.
