Cam Schlittler Takes Blame After Defensive Woes in ALDS Game 2 Loss

New York Yankees right-hander Cam Schlittler shouldered the blame after a 5-2 ALDS Game 2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays, allowing four runs (two earned) on six hits, one walk, and two strikeouts over 4.1 innings. Hindered by four total team errors and chaotic defensive miscues, Schlittler threw 76 pitches and generated just seven whiffs. Despite regular-season dominance, he lacked his best velocity and control as the Rays took a 2-0 series lead.
