Domingo German made his first major league start in style last Sunday. He twirled six no-hit innings, fanning nine before being removed as he bumped up against his pitch limit. While no-hit bids may be as common as ever these days, thoroughly shutting down a talented Cleveland lineup in his first start was a neat trick from German.
Now that Yankee fans are acquainted with him, and now that he is in the rotation for the time being with Jordan Montgomery injured, it’s worth noting how German arrived at this point.
