Make That 20! Indians Top Tigers 2-0 to Extend Win Streak; Three Takeaways From the Victory

3. Cy Kluber

Another ho-hum outing for Corey Kluber, who might has well make space on his bookshelf right now for another Cy Young award.

All the Indians ace did was go the distance, allowing four runs, no walks and eight strikeouts. He did get some solid defense and it was a rush in the 9th when he came back out, and despite allowing a two-out double was able to get Miggy Cabrera on a ground out to end the game.

How good has Kluber been? It’s flat out sick from a baseball standpoint.

74 K’s since August 1st, and during the teams’ 20-game win streak is 4-0 with a 1.41 ERA, including two completes games.

There’s no doubt that Kluber is now very much in the lead for the AL Cy Young Award, and at home he’s been nasty, going 9-2 at Progressive Field this season with a 1.93 ERA.

Let’s hope he gets plenty of chances to pitch in the park in October.
