Indians starter Mike Clevinger had not shown the form of his first two starts of 2019 since coming off the injured list, but finally Wednesday night in Kansas City it looked like the pitcher the Indians and their fans had been waiting to see.
Clevinger went six shutout innings, Carlos Santana homered, and the pen did the rest as the Tribe shutout the Royals 4-0 to move to 47-38 on the season.
The win is the third straight for the Indians, who will look for the sweep on the fourth of July against the Royals.
It was an outing much needed for Clevinger, who in his last time out couldn’t get past the second inning.
