CLEVELAND (AP) — Corey Kluber put on a record-breaking performance Tuesday night and still lost 1-0 to the San Diego Padres.
The ace right-hander struck out 10 in eight innings — setting a Cleveland Indians mark with five consecutive double-digit strikeout games. But the 2014 AL Cy Young Award winner received little help from his offense or defense.
Cory Spangenberg drove in the only run with a groundout, and six San Diego pitchers combined on a five-hitter.
Padres manager Andy Green knew his team was fortunate to come out on top against Kluber, who is headed to the All-Star Game next week.
