Why it matters: The outing builds on Schlittler's slight edge in the award race entering September. His combination of workload, strikeouts and baserunner prevention gives his candidacy several statistical foundations.

By the numbers: Schlittler has a 0.92 WHIP, 11.1 strikeouts per nine innings and 6.7 WAR. Tuesday's start produced 3.33 strikeouts for every hit allowed.

What to watch: His remaining September starts will determine the final shape of his Cy Young résumé.
