A-Rod stuck on 599 as Tribe rookie stops Yanks

CLEVELAND – Josh Tomlin took a shutout into the eighth inning against Alex Rodriguez and the New York Yankees to win his major league debut with the Cleveland Indians, 4-1 on Tuesday night.

Getting one more chance at hitting his 600th homer with two outs in the ninth inning, Rodriguez grounded into a forceout to shortstop to end the game. A-Rod went 0 for 4 on his 35th birthday.

The 25-year-old Tomlin outpitched former Indians ace CC Sabathia (13-4), handing the left-hander his first loss in 12 starts since May 23.

With flashbulbs popping in the seventh, Rodriguez brought the crowd of 27,416 to its feet with two outs and Nick Swisher on third base. The Yankees star hit a 1-2 pitch to right-center, but the ball fell just short of the warning track and was easily caught.
