The Indians used a four-run showing in the fourth inning against Tigers right-hander Anibal Sanchez to back Kluber's gem. Michael Brantley, Mike Napoli and Yan Gomes contributed successive RBI hits in that frame against Sanchez (3-3), who struck out seven and allowed four hits in a seven-inning performance.
Over his nine innings, Kluber (2-3) generated 16 outs via grounders, including a pair of double plays. The right-hander struck out seven and walked two in the effort, which marked his second win over Detroit this year. In 17 innings against the Tigers on the season, Kluber has 17 strikeouts, two walks and only one run relinquished.
