An Offensively Bad Weekend in Arizona Ends w/ Indians 3-2 Loss; Three Takeaways From the Loss

2. Better Showing for Kluber, But Yet Another Slow Start to Season

Ace Corey Kluber was back on the mound after a no-decision in the opener in Texas, and Sunday he again was pushed, allowing three runs, two earned, in six innings.

He was throwing with what’s being described as a stiff back, which is concerning for any team when it comes to their best pitcher on the roster.

Kluber in two starts has an ERA of 5.25, and has allowed seven runs on 12 hits in just seven innings. He’s also allowed four homers in the two starts as well.

Don’t forget he was 0-3 last season before he started to find himself and get it turned around, but let’s hope that turnaround starts when he takes the mound Friday against the Detroit Tigers at home.
