A-Rod stuck on 599 as Tribe rookie stops Yanks
Tomlin carries shutout into 8th, outpitches Sabathia in MLB debut
CLEVELAND - If Josh Tomlin was in awe of Alex Rodriguez and the mighty New York Yankees, he didn't show it.
Tomlin took a shutout into the eighth inning against A-Rod and the rest of New York's potent lineup to win his major league debut with the Cleveland Indians, 4-1 on Tuesday night.
"That was an outstanding effort by the kid," Indians manager Manny Acta said. "He was very poised. He pounded the strike zone. He's the poster boy for what we want - pitchers throwing strikes."
