Mike Clevinger did everything that can be asked of a starter to help the Indians win today’s game. For a while it didn’t look like enough, but sometimes crazy things happen and sometimes the Indians win 5-3 and make an entire city smile.
Praise for Mike Clevinger before things go completely off of the rails in this recap
The Indians needed another stellar performance from a starting pitcher and Mike Clevinger delivered.
In seven innings of shutout work he struck out twelve (a career high) and walked three, surrendering only a single hit. Throughout the afternoon he relied on his fastball, throwing it 61 percent of the time and touching 97 miles per hour on the radar.
