Twins Flip the Script, Sweep the Indians after 4-0 Win to Take Back First in AL Central; Three Takeaways From the Loss

3. Tomlin’s Take

Josh Tomlin hasn’t gotten a lot of help this year from his buddies on the offensive side, as Sunday marked the ninth time in 2017 he’s had one run or less of support in his starts.

He again though put the Indians behind early, as the Twins scored a pair on a couple hard hit balls in the 2nd, then added a single run on a Eddie Rosario homer in the 4th and another on a defensive mental lapse in the 6th.

Tomlin allowed a lot of traffic, giving up nine hits, and also walked three batters in a game for the first time since September of 2015.

His ERA remains at 6.09, so while the run support hasn’t been there for him, he’s not exactly shut the door on opposing teams either.

Tomlin now sits at 4-9 on the season.
