"It makes us feel way more confident in the day -- like, we've just got to go out there and score some runs,"
"Get some runs going, and we know he's going to handle the rest."
"As a rookie, you can't get too comfortable," Schlittler said. "It's just important for me to continue to do my job. I try to get to six, seven innings, and put the team in a spot to win."
"He goes out there and hits the grand slam to get us right back in the game,"
Rookie right-hander Cam Schlittler has made eight major league starts and posted a 2-2 record with a 2.76 ERA, showing particular dominance in August. He scattered four hits, three walks and struck out eight over six innings in a recent start and is 1-1 with a 1.63 ERA across five August starts. Teammates express confidence in his ability to limit opponents, which shifts urgency to the lineup to provide runs. The Yankees lead Boston by a half-game for the first AL wild-card and trail Toronto by three games in the AL East. Chicago has lost four straight and placed Luis Robert Jr. and Miguel Vargas on the injured list; Vargas hit a grand slam before exiting after a collision with Aaron Judge.
