Cam Schlittler matches Randy Johnson record for road strikeout streak

New York Yankees starting pitcher Cam Schlittler set a modern-era record by recording more strikeouts than hits allowed in 21 consecutive road starts. The streak reached this milestone during a 6-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels, where Schlittler struck out nine batters across eight innings. Only Randy Johnson previously achieved a run of at least 21 games with this statistical threshold while playing for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Schlittler currently holds a 12-6 record with a 2.04 ERA and 0.94 WHIP through 29 starts this season. His performance helps anchor the New York pitching rotation as the team maintains the first Wild Card position in the American League. The club now prepares for a weekend series in San Diego against the Padres.
