LOS ANGELES (AP) — Domingo Germán is getting a second chance in the big leagues, a year after he flamed out with the New York Yankees because of behavioral issues.
The Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday selected the right-handed pitcher’s contract from Triple-A Indianapolis. Germán was 6-4 with a 5.29 ERA in 13 starts with the Indians this season.
Germán relieved starter Mitch Keller in the fifth inning against the Dodgers. He gave up two runs and one hit in four innings, struck out three and walked two.
Last June, Germán tossed the 24th perfect game in major league history. Two months later, he was put on MLB’s restricted list following an incident in the Yankees clubhouse that reportedly involved a confrontation with manager Aaron Boone.
