What happened

The past and future collide in the present Wednesday at Yankee Stadium.

Why it matters

Cam Schlittler and Trey Yesavage — the two fresh-faced pitchers who spun double-digit strikeout gems last October — will duel for the first time in their careers when the Yankees host the Blue Jays.

Common ground

“Hopefully we’re facing each other for the next X amount of years,” Schlittler, 25, said before Tuesday’s second game of a four-game series.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
