CLEVELAND
Ned Yost noticed the nervousness coursing through rookie Brandon Finnegan on Tuesday evening. If Yost couldn’t notice Finnegan’s jittery body language, he could also point to his pitching. In his first outing of the season, Finnegan, the teams’ first-round pick in 2014, served up a three-run homer to the first batter he faced.
“I was definitely nervous for the first time in a while,” Finnegan said after his team came back to defeat the Indians, anyway. The result netted Finnegan the first regular-season victory of his career, a milestone he preferred to reach in more flattering fashion.
