The New York Yankees are beginning their final regular-season series of the year on Friday when they begin a three-game set with the Baltimore Orioles.
For Yankees ace Cam Schlittler, though, he wrapped up his regular season campaign on Thursday night in a limited final outing before the Wild Card Series next week.
He pitched 3.0 innings, allowing three hits and one earned run while striking out five batters to cap off what has been a year in which he’s the heavy favorite to win the American League Cy Young Award.

“Cam Schlittler finished the regular season with a 1.95 ERA, the third-lowest ERA in a single season by a qualified Yankees pitcher,” the Yankees post read.
