Quick Summary

Yankees manager Aaron Boone started his ace, Cam Schlittler, in the wild-card series opener against the Red Sox on Tuesday night. Rather than employing strategic gimmicks, Boone trusted Schlittler’s exceptional abilities. Schlittler adapted by throwing more curveballs and using a higher pitch count than ever before, ultimately solidifying his reputation for brilliance under pressure.
