Rookie right-hander Cam Schlittler delivered a performance for the ages on Thursday night, striking out 12 in eight shutout innings as the Yankees advanced with a 4-0 victory. New York got all of its runs in the third inning on RBI singles by Amed Rosario and Anthony Volpe, a run-scoring groundout by Austin Wells, and a costly Boston error.

Toronto comes off a five-day break after winning the AL East via an 8-5 edge over the Yankees during the regular season, as both teams finished with 94-68 records. The Blue Jays feature two of the seven .300 hitters in baseball this season in George Springer (.309 with 32 home runs) and Bo Bichette (.311 with 94 RBI).

Either Kevin Gausman (10-11) or Shane Bieber (4-2) will get the Game 1 start for Toronto, while New York will give the ball to either Luis Gil (4-1) or Will Warren (9-8).

This is a great MLB baseball matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
