Domingo German did more than enough to stay in the Yankees’ rotation and hopefully mute the nonsensical noise that Matt Harvey is needed in The Bronx.
Across six innings German’s performance in place of Jordan Montgomery appeared to be the lone Yankees bright spot, but that changed when the Yankees scored three runs against Indians closer Cody Allen in the eighth to cut the lead to a run and then tied the score in the ninth.
German didn’t allow a hit or run, but until the next to last inning the Yankees’ bats were muzzled by Mike Clevinger.
