Summary
13 strikeouts and six shutout innings against Cincinnati capped Friday for Cam Schlittler, who then posted an Instagram screen recording of a Red Sox fan’s months-long insults.
The messages began before Schlittler’s AL Wild Card Game 3 start last October and continued through April, with the fan repeatedly insulting him and predicting the Reds would "light him up."
Schlittler answered one message with "Stop glazing lil bro" and later captioned his Instagram Story "Rent Free" after the Yankees’ 5-0 win.
The 25-year-old right-hander is 8-3 with a 1.71 ERA and 109 strikeouts in 95 innings, and has said some Red Sox fans also sent death threats to him and his family.
