Schlittler, Goldschmidt and Rice lead the Yankees to a 5-3 win over the Mariners

By Canadian Press on April 1, 2026.

SEATTLE (AP) — Cam Schlittler pitched shutout ball into the seventh inning and Paul Goldschmidt hit a three-run homer as the New York Yankees beat the Seattle Mariners 5-3 on Wednesday.

Ben Rice also homered and had an RBI double for the Yankees, who finished 5-1 on their West Coast trip to begin the season. They play their home opener Friday against the Miami Marlins.

Schlittler (2-0) yielded two hits in 6 1/3 innings and retired his last 16 batters, extending his scoreless start to the season. He struck out seven and walked none on 79 pitches, 58 strikes.

The 25-year-old right-hander blanked the Giants across 5 1/3 innings last Friday. He’s permitted only three hits in 11 2/3 innings this year while striking out 15 batters. He and teammate Max Fried have each not allowed a run in two starts this season.
