Yankees' Cam Schlittler: Coughs up four homers in loss
Rotowire
Schlittler (8-5) took the loss against the Tigers on Tuesday, allowing six runs on seven hits and one walk with five strikeouts over four innings.
Schlittler surrendered a career-high four homers, one of which was almost robbed by Spencer Jones, in his shortest start of the campaign. The outing marked just the second time this season the 25-year-old allowed four earned runs or more, and he'll still finish June with a 3.38 ERA over six starts. He owns a 2.08 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 123:21 K:BB across 104 innings overall and will look to rebound in a road matchup with the Rays next week.

Yankees' Cam Schlittler: Let down by defense in loss
Rotowire
Schlittler (8-4) took the loss against Boston on Thursday, allowing four runs -- all unearned -- on five hits and two walks while striking out nine batters over five innings.
Schlittler survived two Yankees errors -- including one of his own -- in the first inning, but the same didn't hold true in the fifth. In that frame, the right-hander allowed the first two batters he faced to reach base but then got Wilyer Abreu to strike out. It looked like Schlittler might get out of the inning unscathed when Willson Contreras hit a sharp grounder to third base, but Amed Rosario couldn't field the ball, and the Red Sox ended up scoring four times. Though that was enough to hand Schlittler the loss, the emerging star still lowered his ERA to an AL-best 1.62 and got nine punchouts along with 16 whiffs. He's allowed just two earned runs across his past four starts (23.2 innings). Schlittler will try to get back into the win column his next time out, which is lined up to be a home matchup against Detroit.
Yankees' Cam Schlittler: Dominates with career-high 13 Ks
Rotowire
Schlittler (8-3) picked up the win Friday, allowing four hits over six scoreless innings in a 5-0 victory over the Reds. He struck out 13 without walking a batter.
Only one Cincinnati runner even got past second base against the 25-year-old right-hander, who set a new career high in strikeouts while reeling off his second straight quality start and his 10th of the season. Schlittler is heading toward the second half of the season as one of the clear favorites for the AL Cy Young Award, as he leads the Junior Circuit in ERA (1.71) and is second in WHIP (0.89) and strikeouts (109) while being tied with Michael Wacha for the lead in QS. Schlittler will look to stay locked in for his next outing, which is set to come on the road next week in Detroit in a potential marquee matchup against the reigning two-time Cy Young winner, Tarik Skubal.
Yankees' Cam Schlittler: Stingy in no-decision Saturday
Rotowire
Schlittler didn't factor into the decision Saturday in a 3-1 win over the Blue Jays, allowing one run on six hits and four walks over seven innings. He struck out seven.
The right-hander dialed up his ninth quality start of the season on 101 pitches (65 strikes), but Schlittler's four free passes were a season high as he issued more than two walks in an outing for the first time since May 4. The breakout star will take a 1.82 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 96:18 K:BB through 89 innings into his next start, which is scheduled to come at home next weekend against the Reds.
Schlittler did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Red Sox, allowing a run on four hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.
It was an encouraging bounce-back showing from Schlittler after he gave up five runs in 4.1 innings in a loss to Cleveland his last time out. The right-hander blanked the Red Sox for five innings before giving up a lone run on a Willson Contreras two-out double in the sixth. Most encouraging was Schlittler's fastball velocity, which averaged 97.5 MPH, up from the 96.8 he averaged against the Guardians. Schlittler's ERA now sits at an AL-best 1.87 with a 0.87 WHIP and 89:14 K:BB across 14 starts (82 innings). He's currently slated to face the Blue Jays on the road his next time out.
Yankees' Cam Schlittler: Gives up four runs in loss
Rotowire
Schlittler (7-3) took the loss against Cleveland on Tuesday, allowing five runs (four earned) on five hits while striking out three across 4.1 innings. He did not issue a walk.
The four earned runs Schlittler gave up were his most in a start since Sept. 16, and Tuesday's outing was the first time this season that the 25-year-old right-hander did not complete at least five innings. It's still been a strong season for Schlittler, who leads the American League with a 0.86 WHIP (across 76.1 innings) among qualified starters, and he has a 1.89 ERA that is second in the AL to Nick Martinez (1.62). Schlittler will look to bounce back in his next start, which is slated for this weekend at home against the Red Sox.
Yankees' Cam Schlittler: Cruises to seventh victory
Rotowire
Schlittler (7-2) earned the win over Kansas City on Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits and no walks while striking out six batters over six innings.
The Yankees had staked Schlittler to a 9-0 lead before he gave up his lone run of the game on a solo shot by Bobby Witt in the bottom of the third inning. It was an almost entirely stress-free outing for Schlittler, who needed only 77 pitches to notch his seventh quality start over his past eight outings. The right-hander hasn't given up more than two earned runs in any start during that span and holds a sparkling 1.50 ERA on the season. Schlittler is among the early leaders in the AL Cy Young Award race, adding a 0.85 WHIP and 81:13 K:BB through 72 innings.
