Green (1-2) gave up seven earned runs on five hits and two walks over 4.1 innings in Friday's 10-2 loss to the Indians. He struck out six.
It was a mixed bag for the young arm, who only found the strike zone on 49 of his 86 pitches but who also managed to induce 14 swings-and-misses on the night. Green's downfall was clearly the long ball, as he gave up three homers in the first inning to Carlos Santana, Jason Kipnis and Lonnie Chisenhall in a disastrous opening frame. Mike Napoli tagged him with a mammoth 467-foot shot in the third as well and Green got the hook two innings later after giving up a one-out single to Jason Kipnis. Manager Joe Girardi will make a decision on a potential second-half rotation spot for the 25-year-old over the All-Star break.
