CHICAGO -- Indians manager Terry Francona said before Monday's 7-6 loss to the White Sox that he wasn't worried about right-handed starter Mike Clevinger.
Before his first career Major League start Wednesday, Clevinger admitted to being nervous to the point that he was getting sick about 45 minutes before game time. He went on to give up four runs over 5 1/3 innings in a no-decision against the Reds.
Francona said he didn't know about the nerves then. And he didn't notice anything before Clevinger's second career start in the first game of Monday's doubleheader.
