Kluber, Gomes help Indians roll over Tigers

Kluber (1-3), who received just three runs of support over his first three starts combined, was already rolling. He struck out seven of Detroit's first 15 batters before Jarrod Saltalamacchia's sixth homer of the season got Detroit on the scoreboard in the fifth. Kluber struck out 10 batters over eight innings of one-run, two-hit ball.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED

Yan fire: Gomes headed into Saturday's game mired in a cold spell (.143 average with 11 strikeouts in his past 28 at-bats), but helped get the Tribe's offense rolling against Sanchez. The catcher delivered an RBI single in the first inning and then added a three-run home run (Gomes' second shot of the season) in Cleveland's five-run third.
