Boston. On Thursday at Fenway Park, New York Yankees starting pitcher Cam Schlittler limited the Boston Red Sox to four hits and two runs across eight innings and struck out the final batter, leading the Yankees to a 4-2 victory that completed a three-game sweep and extended their winning streak to six games. The outing came after Schlittler and his family reported receiving online death threats this offseason; he said this week that Fenway fans in person were largely respectful. Family and friends reacted when he struck out Jarren Duran with his 96th pitch, and the Yankees carry momentum from the sweep into their upcoming schedule.
