To Tomlin, this was simply a tough loss to swallow.
"It doesn't feel good," Tomlin said. "I'm glad I was able to keep the team in the game -- don't get me wrong -- but we need wins, and that's the bottom line."
Indians pitching coach Mickey Callaway had a different take.
"He did his job," Callaway said. "I think he should be proud of that and we're proud of that. Obviously, getting a win would've been great, but that didn't happen tonight. He'll continue to pitch well and, if he keeps on pitching like that, he's going to keep getting more wins than losses.
