CLEVELAND -- With headphones on and music serving as his distraction, Mike Clevinger was pacing back and forth in the Indians' clubhouse on Saturday night. Rain was falling on Progressive Field, threatening to wash away the pitcher's chance to show the Angels what they gave away.
Make no mistake, Clevinger was looking forward to this one. The young right-hander is intense by nature -- he paced like a bull before his first live batting practice workout in Spring Training -- but his blood was pumping a little more in the hours leading up to Cleveland's 5-1 victory over Los Angeles.
