NEW YORK \u2014 The Red Sox-Yankees game on Sunday afternoon provided a textbook example of how two pitchers can stand on the same mound and do the same job in entirely different ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

If Red Sox starter Ranger Suarez broke a sweat on an 81-degree day at Yankee Stadium, it wasn\u2019t evident. He flipped pitches to the plate with seemingly the same effort as dealing a hand of cards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Suarez\u2019s fastest pitch was a 92.9 miles per hour fastball to Trent Grisham in the fourth inning. In all, only eight of his 90 pitches broke 92. Suarez changed angles and speeds like he had a joystick in his glove.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Yankees starter Cam Schlittler threw 83 of his 92 pitches with greater velocity than Suarez\u2019s fastest pitch. Outside of seven curveballs, everything was some variation of a fastball. The 25-year-old righthander from Walpole pitched with ferocity, Suarez with finesse.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both styles were rewarded. Suarez allowed one run on six hits over 6\u2153 innings. He struck out six without a walk. Schlittler was done after 5\u2154 innings and allowed one run on four hits with one walk and five strikeouts.<\/span><\/p>\n
