With each and every start, Corey Kluber further cements his legacy in Cleveland Indians lore. From the Cy Young award to an 18 strikeout game and everything in between, we have seen Kluber do some phenomenal things over the past two and a half seasons. On Wednesday night, he added another chapter to his story.
In Wednesday’s loss to the Royals, Kluber racked up nine more strikeouts in eight innings of work. That now has him enjoying some elite company within the Indians record books. With those nine strikeouts, Kluber has now fanned 59 batters over his last five starts.
