And that\u2019s whether he\u2019s at home or away from the Stadium.<\/p>\n
After a poor performance in his last start, which came in The Bronx against St. Louis, Schlittler, unprompted, said, \u201cThings have been a lot easier on the road. I feel like I\u2019ve been dominant on the road and haven\u2019t been able to do that here. And it\u2019s frustrating. At some point, we\u2019ve got to make an adjustment, and I\u2019ve got to perform in front of the fans.\u201d<\/p>\n
Heading into Sunday, Schlittler was 8-2 with a 1.10 ERA in 14 road starts on the season, compared to 2-4 with a 4.32 ERA in 10 starts at the Stadium.<\/p>\n
Versus Atlanta, Schlittler rebounded from what Aaron Boone called \u201carguably his worst\u201d start of what\u2019s been an outstanding season.<\/p>\n
Coming back from a start in which Schlittler allowed a season-high five walks \u2014 as well as four runs \u2014 in just three innings against the Cardinals in a home loss, he returned to ace-like form in The Bronx against the Braves on Sunday, giving up one run in seven innings, while striking out 11 and not walking a batter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a big chance that stuff is a coincidence,\u2019\u2019 Schlittler said of the difference in performance away from home compared to the Stadium.<\/p>\n
Asked why this one may have been different, Schlittler said, \u201cI was more locked in. It was a day game against a really good team and was able to limit distractions.\u201d<\/p>\n
But he wasn\u2019t able to help the Yankees get a victory.<\/p>\n

Because of the Yankees\u2019 continued struggles to score runs, Schlittler found out that even though he was just one pitch away from a masterpiece, it was enough to put the team in a hole.<\/p>\n
He whiffed five of the first six batters he faced, overpowering Atlanta\u2019s lineup with fastballs.<\/p>\n
The right-hander pitched around a leadoff double by Mike Yastrzemski in the third and had struck out Matt Olson twice in his first two at-bats.<\/p>\n

After sticking to the outside part of the plate in the first- and fourth-inning matchups with Olson, Schlittler changed up his approach a bit in the seventh. Schlittler fell behind 2-0 with a pair of sinkers, before leaving a 100 mph four-seamer over the middle of the plate.<\/p>\n
Olson hammered it out to right-center for the game\u2019s first run.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was able to clip it,\u2019\u2019 Schlittler said.<\/p>\n
But as far as the rest of the 25-year-old\u2019s performance went on another sweltering day at the Stadium, the Yankees were encouraged.<\/p>\n
\u201cCam was dominant,\u2019\u2019 Boone said. \u201cUp there with as good as he\u2019s been all year, which is saying something. He was excellent.\u201d<\/p>\n
He had double-digit strikeouts for the third time this season. Each time he\u2019s accomplished the feat, he\u2019s done so without issuing a walk.<\/p>\n
\u201cI tried to be more locked in and in control of what I can control,\u2019\u2019 Schlittler said. \u201cI had a good mentality and routine.\u201d<\/p>\n
He just couldn\u2019t help the Yankees lineup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There\u2019s no denying the Yankees lineup is a mess.
