Schmidt limited the Blue Jays to five baserunners while generating 14 whiffs on 90 pitches (52 strikes), and his lone blemish came in the third inning on an Anthony Santander solo home run. It was Schimdt's best start since being activated from the 15-day injured list April 16, and through three starts he has a 5.52 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over 14.2 innings. Schmidt will look for his first win of 2025 next weekend at home against Tampa Bay.

Bassitt gave up a leadoff homer to Trent Grisham to open the outing, but the former settled in keep the Yankees off the board over the next four frames. However, things fell apart in the sixth for Bassitt, as he was tagged for three more runs, including a solo home run by Aaron Judge. Bassitt allowed just two earned runs over his first four starts of the season, but he has given up eight runs over his last two outings and is up to a 2.62 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 39:7 K:BB across 34.1 innings.
