Schlittler doesn't let up as Yankees pile on in 12th straight win over Royals

The New York Yankees defeated the Kansas City Royals 15-1 on Tuesday, securing their 12th consecutive win over Kansas City. Starter Cam Schlittler pitched six innings, allowing just one run on four hits while striking out six, lowering his ERA to 1.50 — the second lowest by a Yankee in his first 12 starts since 1913, behind Ray Caldwell's 1.46 in 1914. The Yankees' offense exploded early, highlighted by home runs from Cody Bellinger and Amed Rosario, and a two-run blast off Royals starter Bailey Falter.
