- Cam Schlittler pitched eight innings for the Yankees on Monday, marking his second eight-inning outing of the year, and the team defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 5-1 in the series opener.
- Schlittler bounced back from a disappointing loss to the Detroit Tigers in his previous start.
Why it matters: Schlittler gave the Yankees a deep, quality start to open their series against Tampa Bay, providing a needed reset after his prior disappointing outing against Detroit and giving the rotation length it didn't get last time out.
