Cleveland Indians use chaos, Corey Kluber to crush Oakland Athletics, 8-0

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- On one side stood Corey Kluber, finishing off Oakland hitters in mere seconds, his fastball on target and his breaking ball diving away from every lunging piece of lumber.

On the other side, there was pure madness, befitting of the Yakety Sax theme. In the bottom of the sixth, the Indians benefitted from a pair of singles, a couple of walks, two errors and a double replay challenge. Oh, and the sprinkler system malfunctioned.

The Indians capitalized on the chaos -- and on Kluber's calming presence on the mound -- to knock out the Athletics, 8-0.
