NEW YORK -- The cowboy boots sitting at the base of Josh Tomlin's locker are a welcome sight for the Indians. For the bulk of the past three years, the veteran right-hander has been missing from the clubhouse, stranded out in Arizona while working through a comeback from injury.
On Thursday night in the Bronx, Tomlin was not only back, but he looked more like himself than he has in some time for the Tribe. The soft-spoken starter with the soft-velocity fastball handcuffed New York's powerful lineup for seven innings en route to a 3-2 victory at Yankee Stadium.
