Josh Tomlin pitches 5 innings in first start of 2016, Indians win 7-5

Saturday provided us with the return of Josh Tomlin and the Indians offense.

Indians improve to 5-4

--

Josh Tomlin finally got to pitch in a 2016 regular season game—and it started in the most Josh Tomlin way possible, as he gave up a (solo) home run to Curtis Granderson, the Mets' leadoff hitter. In his 10 starts last season, Tomlin allowed 13 homers (11 solo), so yeeaaahh...

The Great Tomlin Strikeout Renaissance also continued in that first inning, when he whiffed two Mets.

To the surprise of nobody, Tomlin's opponent was able to top that in the first inning.
