New York Baseball Sweeps the Night

The Yankees and Mets both captured series victories Wednesday night, combining elite pitching, explosive offense and two memorable late-game performances.

Yankees 6, Angels 3 — 10 innings

Cam Schlittler delivered another ace-level performance, holding Los Angeles to one run on two hits across eight innings. The right-hander struck out nine without issuing a walk, lowering his ERA to 2.04. The game remained tied 1–1 until the Yankees erupted for five runs in the 10th. Austin Wells broke the tie with a two-run single before Cody Bellinger, Trent Grisham and Ben Rice supplied consecutive RBI hits.

Schlittler’s final line:

• 8 innings

• 2 hits

• 1 earned run

• 0 walks

• 9 strikeouts
