Can I be forgiven for my skepticism as Corey Kluber and his 9.00 ERA took the mound? But the rehabbing major leaguer came through for the Woo Sox in his second start, pitching 2.2 scoreless innings. He gave up a lead-off single but retired seven of the next nine batters. Overall, he struck out two and gave up two hits.
In the fourth, Niko Kavadas and Christian Koss slammed back-to-back home runs (Koss’s first in Triple-A). A bit later in the inning, the Woo Sox took advantage of a bases-loaded situation, courtesy of three walks: Stephen Scott brought in one on a groundout, and then Bobby Dalbec brought in two more with a double.
