\u201cGood pitchers are going to battle through that or you\u2019re going to crumble,\u201d Schlittler said. \u201cI feel like I crumbled a little bit against Detroit [two starts ago when he gave up four home runs]. I feel like I can take today as a win in terms of making those adjustments and getting deeper into the game than I probably should\u2019ve been.\u201d<\/p>\n
Schlittler did not have his best command either, tying a season high with four walks while striking out six.<\/p>\n
But he settled into a groove as he got deeper into the game and finished with 6 \u00b2\/\u2083 innings \u2014 helping out his bullpen and keeping the Yankees within striking distance so they could come back to win it.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust a bunch of resilience, making pitches, competing,\u201d said Trent Grisham, who delivered the go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth.<\/p>\n

Up next could be a start in the All-Star Game, on what would essentially be Schlittler\u2019s between-starts bullpen day. <\/p>\n
Aaron Boone said before the game that there was a \u201cgood chance\u201d Schlittler would be able to throw in the game, and while the right-hander said he did not yet know if he has the green light, he expected to find out in the next day or two.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I\u2019m comfortable doing that, then I\u2019ll do that,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019d be a cool experience. I\u2019m not gonna lie, I\u2019m not too worried about it. I got more things to worry about in terms of this team and how we\u2019ve been playing. I like how it\u2019s been the last couple days.\u201d<\/p>\n
David Bednar, after throwing two innings to close out Friday\u2019s win, came back for the ninth inning Saturday to record his 18th save of the season. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think just finding my form and being aggressive,\u201d Bednar said. \u201cBeing aggressive in the zone and trusting all three of my pitches. Whenever I\u2019m able to be in the zone with all three, I\u2019m able to have success.\u201d<\/p>\n
Max Fried (left elbow bone bruise) was in line to throw about 45 pitches in a simulated game Saturday afternoon at Double-A Somerset. <\/p>\n
If he recovers well from it in the coming days, he should be cleared to start a rehab assignment after the All-Star break, giving him a chance to return to the Yankees by early August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WASHINGTON \u2014 Cam Schlittler has made himself the AL Cy Young favorite in the first half by leaning…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":293650,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[32358,20,9,11,10,321,319,35514],"class_list":["post-293649","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-cam-schlittler","tag-mlb","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-new-york-yankees","tag-sports","tag-washington-nationals"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293649","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=293649"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293649\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/293650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=293649"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=293649"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=293649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
