CLEVELAND -- The results in the box scores have not matched what the Indians have seen from Josh Tomlin over the past month. They see a fastball in its usual velocity range, similar movement on all his pitches and nothing to indicate that the right-hander is fighting fatigue.
Those factors have helped convince Cleveland that the best approach to Tomlin's recent struggles is to stick by him, rather than put him in the bullpen or give someone else a shot at his rotation job. So when the Indians host the Twins on Tuesday, Tomlin will be back on the mound for the Tribe, continuing his search for what worked so well in the first half.
