The rehabbing Nestor Cortes is still a few turns away from big-league relevance, which means Domingo German likely has a few more chances to prove he belongs as a starter.
A few hours before Tuesday’s game, Yankees manager Aaron Boone indicated he had no plans to experiment with a six-man rotation when Nestor Cortes returns.
German allowed six runs in six innings, getting burned both by weak contact that found grass and three blasted shots that sailed over the grass and the outfield wall. The 30-year-old has allowed 20 home runs this season, tied for the 11th-most in baseball, and continues to frustrate with stuff that is either unhittable or too hittable.He bounced back with a stunning perfect game in Oakland on June 28.German continued to miss Mets bats and finished with nine strikeouts, but he was tagged for seven hits and a walk. Not every hit was his fault.
German allowed three more runs in the third, again with a combination of hard and soft contact. He recorded two quick outs before Francisco Lindor sent a bloop into left, where McKinney probably should have caught it.After German walked Jeff McNeil, Alonso smacked an 0-2 pitch into the left-field seats and a 4-0 lead. German blamed the location — a changeup that was meant to be away and ended up inside.
