Kluber, Encarnacion propel Indians over White Sox, 7-3

CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona made a blunt assessment Friday afternoon over the way his team has played this season.

“We have not been very good to date — that’s the understatement of the year,” he said before the Indians took on the Chicago White Sox.

Coming off a 1-4 road trip, the defending AL champs finally clicked in all phases — at least for one night.

Edwin Encarnacion hit a go-ahead two-run homer, Corey Kluber won his second straight start since coming off the disabled list and the Indians beat the White Sox 7-3.
