Overview

• The 24-year-old held Baltimore to one run on three hits with one walk over 5 1/3 innings and six strikeouts in a 7-1, 10-inning Yankees win at Camden Yards.
• He struck out the side in the first inning on 15 pitches, finishing hitters with 98–99 mph fastballs at the top of the zone.
• The third postseason start is down to Schlittler or Luis Gil behind Max Fried and Carlos Rodón, with a Newsday canvass of team and rival evaluators showing opinions split.
• The Yankees could use Monday’s off-day to move Schlittler and Rodón up one day, creating an extra day of rest before the playoffs.
• Schlittler’s season line includes a mid-3s ERA with double-digit strikeouts per nine and a four-seam fastball that has been especially effective as he works to tighten command and secondary pitches.
