CLEVELAND – Josh Tomlin stood front and center in the media scrum Monday night following the Indians 7-5 home loss to the Cincinnati Reds, answering yet again the tough question he’s been asked a lot already in 2018.
Why a pitcher who has been a rock at the end of the Indians rotation the past few seasons is having so much trouble getting outs, even in games when he’s pitching when for the most part they are well decided.
Tomlin got the call on Saturday and was the losing pitcher in extra innings, allowing a homer in the 6-3 loss to Oakland.
