Yankees' Cam Schlittler takes brunt of blame for Game 2 loss: 'Really just disappointed in myself'

The right-hander didn't exactly pitch poorly, and even did well to limit the damage to just one run in the first inning where the Yankees made three errors on the infield, but it was clear Schlittler wasn't at his best during his 4.1 innings of work.

Perhaps it was the failure on defense to make plays all game, but it seemed like New York's ace was under duress from the jump and was forced to throw high stress pitches every inning he was out on the mound.

Of course, in the postseason, everything is heightened and more stressful than the regular season, especially when trailing in the series, but Schlittler was supposed to be the Yankees' trump card against the Rays in the series and the 25-year-old was pulled in the fifth inning.
