Among the packed crowd of stars <a href="https://www.si.com/mlb/yankees/news/unexpected-trio-new-york-yankees-stars-attend-knicks-opener" rel="noopener">were three familiar faces</a> from the Yankees: <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/players/a0c008cb/aaron-judge">Aaron Judge</a>, Devin Williams, and Cam Schlittler, SI reports.</p><p>The trio was shown on the big screen sitting courtside, drawing cheers and laughs from the crowd. Judge, fresh off another standout season, has been popping up all over New York lately, from Rangers games to Knicks openers. This time, he was joined by Schlittler, the rookie pitcher who became a fan favorite after his electric postseason performance, and Williams, who ended his year strong after a rocky summer on the mound.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Aaron Judge, Devin Williams and Cam Schlittler are at the Knicks season opener at Madison Square Garden 👀🔥 <a href="https://t.co/KvBSjoGzXm">pic.twitter.com/KvBSjoGzXm</a></p><p>— MLB (@MLB) <a href="https://twitter.com/MLB/status/1981160270274973864?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 23, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><h2><b>Yankees’ Trio Takes in the Garden Glow</b></h2><p>For Schlittler, the appearance capped off a whirlwind few months. The 24-year-old flamethrower was called up from Triple-A in midseason and made his mark immediately, dominating Boston in an eight-inning shutout that sent the Yankees to the ALCS. His intensity and confidence have already made him one of the most talked-about young arms in New York.</p><p>Williams’ inclusion sparked some conversation online, with fans still divided about his role moving forward. He rebounded late in the year, earning a loud standing ovation after a crucial ALDS relief outing at Yankee Stadium. Sitting beside Judge and Schlittler, though, it was all smiles as the Yankees stars shared in the city’s sports energy.</p><p>Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo was also spotted courtside, receiving one of the loudest ovations of the night when shown on the Jumbotron. Ed Sheeran, Ben Stiller, Jimmy Fallon, Tracy Morgan, Chris Rock, Kevin Bacon, and Knicks legend Carmelo Anthony rounded out the celebrity roll call, creating that quintessential New York blend of sports and stardom.</p><p>For Judge, a World Series berth would have been the preferred destination this week.

Toronto’s victory clinched a 3–1 series win, ousting New York and ending the Yankees’ run of three consecutive elimination-game wins this October.</p><p>Rookie right-hander Cam Schlittler, who had lit up the Wild Card with eight scoreless frames and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-yankees/yankees-news-fans-erupt-over-cam-schlittler-12-ks-blazing-start-vs-red-sox">12 strikeouts against the Boston Red Sox</a> in the Wild Card series, slogged through another determined outing but couldn’t prevent New York from biting the postseason dust.</p><p>Schlittler pitched 6.1 innings, allowing four runs on eight hits, only two of them earned due to an error by Jazz Chisholm Jr., while striking out two and walking none. In his two postseason starts, Schlittler posted a 1.26 ERA across 14.1 innings, showing nerves of steel for a 24-year-old making his October debut.</p><p>After the game, Schlittler <a href="https://x.com/snyyankees/status/1976125504445915274" rel="noopener">recalled a hushed, thoughtful mood</a> in the Yankees’ clubhouse.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Cam Schlittler talks about the vibe of the clubhouse after tonight's season-ending loss:</p><p>"Quiet.

I mean, again, you know, leaders in the room stepped up, Booney stepped up, you know, they spoke and we listened,” Schlittler said. “So again, the angle is the same. This is, again, you just got to try and, you know, feel the fire and take it into your offseason training and, again, get ready for spring training and take it into next season.”</p><p>The Blue Jays continued their pattern of scoring first, as Vladimir Guerrero Jr. drove in George Springer with a first-inning single, the fourth consecutive game Toronto jumped ahead early. Ryan McMahon briefly leveled the score with his first career postseason home run in the third inning, a solo shot off lefty Mason Fluharty, tying the game at 1–1. Aaron Judge contributed two singles and an RBI in Game 4, concluding his playoff run at an impressive 13-for-26 (.500) with seven RBIs in seven games.</p><p>New York’s late-inning opportunities ultimately went unfulfilled. In the seventh inning, with the score 2–1, Chisholm’s error on a grounder that could have started a double play allowed Nathan Lukes to hit a two-run single, stretching Toronto’s lead to 4–1. The Yankees loaded the bases in the eighth with two outs but failed to capitalize as Austin Wells flew out. Overall, New York was 1-for-6 with runners in scoring position in the decisive game.</p><p>The Blue Jays struck out just six times and collected 12 hits, outscoring the Yankees 34–19 in the series.</p><p>In left field, Volpe turned a routine play into a gem with a running grab, but he couldn’t light up the scoreboard, finishing 5-for-26 with 16 strikeouts. Chisholm finished the series at .182 with a .598 OPS, while Trent Grisham and other Yankees failed to provide consistent offensive support behind Judge.</p><p>Stripped of postseason hopes, despite having the third-highest Opening Day payroll in Major League Baseball, New York must now regroup and plan for a 2026 comeback.</p><p>Meanwhile, the Blue Jays advance to the ALCS for the first time since 2016, where they will face either the Seattle Mariners or Detroit Tigers in a series tied at 2–2 heading into Friday’s decisive Game 5.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Facing elimination, the New York Yankees turned to rookie Cam Schlittler, who stepped up with a clutch fifth-inning strikeout that froze one of baseball’s hottest bats. It was the first time Guerrero has struck out in the 2025 playoffs, and it came at a pivotal moment with the Blue Jays holding a slim lead.</p><p>Heading into Game 4, Guerrero had been nearly unstoppable. He entered the night hitting .615 with three home runs and nine RBIs through the first three games of the Yankees vs. Blue Jays ALDS series. He had gone 16-straight postseason plate appearances without a strikeout. That streak came to an end when Schlittler delivered a 97-mph fastball on a full count, blowing it by the Toronto slugger to end the fifth inning with a runner on first.</p><p>The moment drew attention across baseball media. Fox Sports MLB took to its official X account (formerly known as Twitter) <a href="https://x.com/MLBONFOX/status/1976084800231588077" rel="noopener">to share</a> the strikeout that ended the fifth frame and highlighted Schlittler’s outing.

With the Yankees trailing 2-1 in both Game 4 and the series, Boone credited Schlittler’s poise for keeping New York close in an elimination situation.</p><p>Boone’s comments came during mid-game coverage as the Yankees vs. Blue Jays showdown unfolded in the Bronx. Schlittler allowed two base runners in the first inning but escaped after striking out Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to end the frame. That moment set the tone, as the rookie regained command and delivered over six strong innings while limiting the Blue Jays to two runs.</p><p>The outing followed Schlittler’s breakout Wild Card performance, where he fired eight scoreless innings to eliminate the Boston Red Sox. His calm presence and fastball command have quickly earned the trust of the clubhouse and Boone. Now down 2-1 after a George Springer sacrifice fly, the Yankees remain within a run as Game 4 continues.</p><p>Fox Sports: MLB took to its official X (formerly known as Twitter) and shared the moment the Yankees manager spoke with The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal during the broadcast. Boone <a href="https://x.com/MLBONFOX/status/1976078167761879358" rel="noopener">was asked about</a> the rookie’s second career postseason start and how he handled the early jam.</p><p>“Great person in our room, he’s fit in right away.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">“Great person in our room, he’s fit in right away”</p><p>Aaron Boone spoke with <a href="https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Ken_Rosenthal</a> about Ryan McMahon’s home run and Cam Schlittler’s outing up to this point tonight <a href="https://t.co/1jlmKLecG5">pic.twitter.com/1jlmKLecG5</a></p><p>— FOX Sports: MLB (@MLBONFOX) <a href="https://twitter.com/MLBONFOX/status/1976078167761879358?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 9, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Boone’s trust in his young starter reflects the manager’s steady leadership style during a tense postseason. Schlittler’s ability to weather adversity early has drawn comparisons to veterans well beyond his experience. His six-inning effort could prove vital in keeping the bullpen fresh for a possible Game 5.</p><p>As ALDS Game 4 plays on, Boone’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-yankees/yankees-news-cam-schlittler-gets-high-praise-from-david-ortiz-before-game-4">confidence in Schlittler</a> underscores a broader theme for this Yankees team — resilience, belief, and an emerging trust between manager and rookie that might define New York’s postseason story. Whether it sparks a comeback or serves as a glimpse of the future, it’s a moment the Yankees won’t forget.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

There were certainly some nervous moments on Tuesday, especially after starting pitcher Carlos Rodon lasted all of 2.1 innings after allowing the Blue Jays to score six runs, but the Yankees, thanks in large part to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-yankees/yankees-news-aaron-boone-drops-best-player-in-the-game-aaron-judge-declaration-after-game-3-win">Aaron Judge’s dominance from the plate</a>, managed to come back from a 6-1 deficit to win 9-6.</p><p>But the Yankees know that the job is far from over. They will have to win two more games, including one at Rogers Centre in a potential Game 5, if they were to advance to the ALCS. But all they could do is take it one step at a time. Game 4 will be the only thing on the Yankees’ mind — with AL Wild Card series hero <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-yankees/yankees-news-cam-schlittler-6-word-message-red-sox-fans-social-media-chirps">Cam Schlittler set to take his turn on the mound</a> in front of his home crowd for another elimination game.</p><p>Schlittler broke out in a big way in Game 3 of the ALWCS against the Boston Red Sox; he mowed down the Yankees’ archrival, as he struck out 12 in eight shutout innings — the first time anyone has done so for the Yankees in the postseason in over 100 years. Schlittler appears to be an ace in the making if his previous start is any indication, and even Red Sox legend David Ortiz is <a href="https://twitter.com/MLBONFOX/status/1975775833118941334" rel="noopener">buying in</a> to the Schlittler hype.</p><p>“That Cam kid…. he’s going to put up a show tomorrow.
