UPDATED: Yankees rookie Cam Schlittler making perfect game bid facing Rays
TAMPA, Fla. — Yankees manager Aaron Boone was asked before Wednesday night's game against the Rays if the plan is to continue having rookie right-hander Cam Schlittler working five-innings starts. 'Just depends,' Boone said. 'If we can get him deep into a game, great. Those are decisions that kind of happen in the moment depending on the game and how it's unfolding and where you are.' A bid at making history was all it took. Making his seventh career start since a first MLB call-up on July 9, Schlittler was perfect through six innings in the Yankees' series finale against the Rays. The Yankees led the Rays 2-0 through five on the strength of two solo home runs, Trent Grisham's to lead off the game and Austin Wells' with one out in the fifth. Retiring 18 in a row, Schlittler's pitch count was at just 66 heading into the fifth inning, 51 of them strikes. Schittler threw first-pitch strikes to 13 of the 18 batters and fell behind 2-0 only in the fourth to Yandy Diaz, who strike out swinging on six pitches on a 98.6-mph fastball. He fanned six through six innings — one in each frame — and nobody came close to getting a hit. The Yankees took a quick 1-0 lead when Grisham homered off Rays right-hander Drew Rasmussen before Schlitter began his mastery. Schlittler started his outing with Chandler Simpson striking out looking on three pitches, then he retired Yandy Diaz and Brandon Lower on flyballs in an 11-pitch inning. Heading into the game, Schilling was 1-2 with a 3.94 ERA. He worked five innings in four starts, a career-long 5.1 innings in his debut and 4.1 in another. 'I'm really encouraged by the way he continues to throw the ball,' Boone said. Here are other recent Yankees posts to check out: -- Austin Wells opens up on losing starts to Ben Rice: 'I get it ...

🤣 Hasty confetti shower sparks a storm of memes
The anticipation for the Internacional vs. Flamengo match on Wednesday night (20) was high. Only that the start of the game was postponed by 20 minutes due to a considerable amount of confetti that fell onto the Beira-Rio pitch. Confetti that should have only been released in case of Colorado's classification to the quarterfinals of the Libertadores. And, of course, there were plenty of memes about such a "picturesque" episode. What's up with that? I was 'fishing' 📸 Pedro H.
