Yankees Stymied By Indians' Tomlin In 3-2 Loss

NEW YORK (AP) — The Yankees were having a tough enough time getting hits off Josh Tomlin and the Indians' bullpen when manager Joe Girardi took exception with a called third strike in the ninth to Brian McCann. Girardi was ejected by plate umpire Dan Iassogna while New York was trying to mount a rally against Cleveland closer Cody Allen on Thursday night, a comeback that fell short with a 3-2 loss in the opener of a four-game series. Allen said the delay didn't bother him, but he gave up an RBI single to the next batter, Carlos Beltran. In his second start since returning from shoulder surgery, he only allowed A-Rod's 680th career home run leading off the fourth and a double to Headley in seven deliberate innings. Lonnie Chisenhall hit an RBI double, and Michael Brantley — still limited to designated hitter because of a sore shoulder — and Jose Ramirez had RBI singles off Ivan Nova (5-5). Yankees: RHP Michael Pineda (forearm strain) is scheduled to throw about 65 pitches for Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes/Barre in his second and likely final rehab start.
