Cam Schlittler dominates with a dozen strikeouts, Yankees beat Phillies in nailbiter - Pinstripe Alley

What the report says

Pinstripe Alley reported that the New York Yankees opened their road series in Philadelphia with a 1-0 win over the Phillies on July 24, 2026, at Citizens Bank Park, behind a dominant start from Cam Schlittler. The right-hander worked 7.1 scoreless innings, striking out 12 while allowing two hits and no walks before leaving in the eighth after a hit batter put two men aboard.

Schlittler retired the first nine Phillies he faced before Kyle Schwarber doubled in the fourth. He then stranded Schwarber and continued into the eighth, with Pinstripe Alley noting that his season ERA fell to 2.07 and his road ERA to 1.07. The report also highlighted his heavier use of the curveball against Philadelphia’s left-handed bats, including Schwarber and Bryce Harper, as part of his continued development.

The Yankees’ offense was limited, but Paul Goldschmidt supplied the decisive run with a homer off Jesús Luzardo. Luzardo also pitched well for Philadelphia, going seven innings with nine strikeouts and one walk, keeping the game tight throughout.

After Schlittler exited, Brent Headrick escaped an eighth-inning jam, and David Bednar finished the shutout. Pinstripe Alley said it was New York’s 10th shutout of the season and Schlittler’s 10th win. The result mattered in the standings context cited by the site, with the Yankees trying to keep pace as the Rays also appeared headed for a win and with a road series victory still available over a Phillies team described as having playoff ambitions.
