Domingo German Returned, Bounced Back As New York Bounced Back, Topped Cleveland In The Opening Game Of The Four Game Series In Cleveland Ohio
After Domingo German’s start on Saturday April 10, 2021 verses Tampa Bay the right handed pitcher was sent to the Alternate Site.
Why?
Tampa Bay collected four runs and eight hits off Domingo Germán, who tossed 79 pitches after throwing 68 in three innings against the Blue Jays last time out. Austin Meadows clanged a first-inning drive off the right-field foul pole and Francisco Mejía knocked in a couple of runs with a second-inning grounder that struck Germán’s glove and deflected toward the outfield.
Randy Arozarena ambushed Domingo Germán’s first pitch of the third inning for a 420-foot homer to straightaway center field. Since the beginning of 2019, Germán has allowed 34 homers in 150 innings, the Majors’ fourth-highest HR/9 rate (min. 140 IP) over that span.

Last night Domingo German returned, bounced back in New York’s 6-3 win over Cleveland!
How?
Domingo Germán allowed three runs (two earned) in the first inning. Cesar Hernandez’s sinking liner popped out of Brett Gardner’s glove in left field, Eddie Rosario’s infield hit knocked into Mike Ford at first base and Germán booted Franmil Reyes’ potential double-play ball up the middle.
Domingo German wasn’t the only one to bounce back as New York did as well!
How?
DJ LeMahieu delivered a RBI single in the third, then Torres -- having earned a closed-door chat with manager Aaron Boone after failing to run out a grounder on Wednesday -- pushed two runs home with a third-inning RBI single that also eluded right fielder Josh Naylor for an error.

Tonight New York and Cleveland are playing game two of their four game series!
Where?
Cleveland Ohio where two left handed pitchers are going to start the game!
Jordan Montgomery is starting for New York!
Jordan Montgomery comes into the game with a record of 1-1 with an earn run average of 4.24.
Montgomery is coming off a loss to the Rays in which he permitted four runs on just two hits -- both homers. Montgomery has continued to limit hard contact this year, holding opponents to a 30.2% hard-hit rate.
Logan Allen is starting for Cleveland!
He comes into the game with a record of 1-2 with an earn run average of 4.50.
In his first two starts, Allen was shaky in his first two innings, but settled in as his outing went along. But his last time out, the opposite happened, as he cruised through the first two frames, but gave up five runs without recording an out in the third against the Reds on Friday.
