Corey Kluber continued to pitch like a Cy Young Award-winner Saturday night, striking out a season-high 13 batters, making it his third consecutive double-digit strikeout outing (second-most in team history, behind Bob Feller).
Kluber allowed two runs in the first inning, both of which were unearned, as a pair of pivotal throwing errors proved costly, but the right hander was dominant the rest of the night, allowing only three hits in seven innings.
The offense provided too little, too late and the bullpen didn’t hold up its end of the bargain on a frustrating night in front of 33,111 fans.
