Cam Schlittler, the 25-year-old Yankees pitcher, has further distinguished himself in the team’s history by achieving a 2.01 ERA, the lowest after 19 starts since Phil Niekro in 1984. In his recent 5-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays, Schlittler pitched eight innings, allowing just one run and striking out eight. With a record of 9-5, he has accumulated 131 strikeouts in 112 innings and is a strong contender in the American League Cy Young race. As the Yankees trail Tampa Bay by three games, maintaining his performance will be crucial for the team’s division hopes.
