After a handful of poor starts, New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka rebounded and threw an absolute gem on Sunday against the Toronto Blue Jays.
The 30 year old lefty out of Hyogo, Japan had been very inconsistent of late, giving up twelve and five runs with a two run outing in between in his last three starts prior.
But Sunday was different. Tanaka was completely dominant and fully in control. He punched out four over 8+ innings, allowing just three hits.
Over the first few innings, Tanaka went pretty splitter heavy, and relied on it to get his outs.
