After the trade deadline passed without a peep from the Yankees, the pressure continues to weigh on their starting pitchers.

Domingo German eased some of the tension Saturday with a solid seven-inning performance in a 9-2 win over the Red Sox in the first game of a split doubleheader in The Bronx. The Yankees took Game 2 6-4 to sweep the two-game set.

But new concerns have arisen with German surpassing 100 innings for the first time in his career, posing the question of how he should be monitored as the season progresses.

“We’ll obviously start to have those conversations and go accordingly, but we haven’t really dove into those conversations about deviating from anything from the plan right now of making his next start in five days,” manager Aaron Boone said following the win.

Boone alluded to the possibility of restricting the right-hander to a certain amount of innings or exploring a new rotation plan, but German hasn’t been consulted yet.

When asked if he thought a change in his routine would throw off his game, German responded through an interpreter, “Probably.”

The 26-year-old was the first Yankees starting pitcher to throw seven innings since CC Sabathia on July 6 at Tampa Bay. German allowed just five hits, two of them solo homers, with seven strikeouts Saturday against Boston. He’s now the only starting pitcher for the Yankees with an ERA below 4.00 (3.98), and his 14th win tied Houston’s Justin Verlander and Texas’ Lance Lynn for the AL lead.

It was German’s first seven-inning outing since May 15 against the Orioles.

Boone sees that German is throwing with confidence. But what makes German so strong, according to Boone, is his ability to remain unfazed on the mound.

“I felt like he came into spring [training] with that attitude and I really noticed it in a couple of the outings where he had some adversity [against] Kansas City, Cleveland, where he might’ve been pitching through something where he struggled, but you couldn’t tell,” Boone said. “He made some mistakes on the mound, but as far as really focusing on the next pitch, not letting something good or bad affect him, I feel like that’s something I really noticed about him all year.”

A two-out, sixth-inning strikeout of Red Sox left fielder Andrew Benintendi, who had hit a solo homer in the second inning to tie the game 1-1, drew shouts of excitement from German.

“Just a little bit of raw emotions there, a lot of people talk about trades and all that stuff, but it was just exciting, that kind of energy,” German said. “Because we’ve been battling all year and that’s the kind of team we’ve had all year, really good ballplayers here on this team that have been fighting all year.”
