The New York Yankees and Japanese ace Masahiro Tanaka both breathed sighs of relief Sept. 21 as the right-hander came back from a two-month layoff for an elbow injury to win at Yankee Stadium.
Tanaka, making his first appearance since complaining of elbow pain on July 8, threw all his pitches without discomfort, going 5 1/3 innings and allowing one run in a 5-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays as he improved to 13-4.
“Overall I’m pretty satisfied with how I pitched today,” the 25-year-old Tanaka said. (Kyodo)
