Schlittler dominates Reds with 13 strikeouts, earns praise on social media from NBA champ Josh Hart

Cam Schlittler was so dominant Friday night that even a member of the NBA champion New York Knicks thinks the tall right-hander is the top pitcher in the American League. Schlittler had the best regular-season outing of his brief career Friday night for the New York Yankees, striking out 13 in six overpowering innings and using three types of high-velocity fastballs in a 5-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. In his 30th major league start, the 6-foot-8 Schlittler eclipsed his previous career high of nine strikeouts.
