[edit] Biographical Information
Pitcher Josh Tomlin had a storybook major league debut for the Cleveland Indians on July 27, 2010. With a huge media presence in attendance hoping to see the New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez hit his 600th major league home run, Tomlin stole the spotlight, outpitching CC Sabathia and holding A-Rod hitless over 7 innings of work during which he allowed only 1 run on 3 hits. He was credited with the Indians' 4-1 win for his first major league victory.
Tomlin was the 5th major leaguer since 1919 to pitch 5+ innings in his first 21 games in the majors; the prior hurler to do so was Daisuke Matsuzaka (28 games).
