What happened: Schlittler made the remarks during Players' Weekend. He worked six innings Friday in a 3-1 win, allowing one run on six hits, according to [MLB.com](https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/cam-schlittler-star-wars-cleats-players-weekend).
Why it matters: The victory extended his club's winning streak to five games. It also cut the division deficit to three games entering the final weeks of the regular season.
By the numbers: Schlittler threw 59 of 96 pitches for strikes, walked three and struck out four. He improved to 11-6.
What to watch: His next rotation turn will test whether he can sustain that form during the division chase.
