KANSAS CITY -- The American League Cy Young Award race is going to come down to volume versus value in the eyes of voters. It is no surprise that Indians ace Corey Kluber once again finds himself in the annual conversation.
In a 9-4 loss to the Royals on Saturday night, Kluber put the final touches on his Cy Young campaign, which will likely net a top-five finish rather than a third career plaque. Working on a limited pitch count, Kluber had mixed results in final regular-season outing of 2018, walking away with a no-decision before the Tribe's bullpen concerns returned.
