Kluber Knocked Out Early in Shortest Career Outing as Cardinals Pound

2. Fast Start Fizzles

Cardinals starter Carlos Martinez had not had a start in June in which he had thrown over five innings, but against the Indians that all ended, as he went six innings holding the Tribe to two runs.

The line on Martinez was one that was more than good enough on a night in which Corey Kluber allowed six runs in less than two innings.

Overall he went six innings, allowing two runs on six hits with a walk and eight strikeouts.

The win puts Martinez at 4-4 on the season with a 3.22 ERA. He came out an outing against the Brewers in which he allowed five runs on eight hits in four outings against Milwaukee.

In two games in this trip, the Cards have outscored the Tribe 15-2 – ouch.
