Pen Implodes as Indians Lose to Kershaw and the Dodgers 7-5; Three Takeaways From the Loss

3. A Series That Can Still Be Won

It’s easy to get frustrated with the Indians after this tough loss, but again you have to look at their level of who was on the mound against them.

Wednesday they will have their ace in Corey Kluber, and the Dodgers will counter that with Brandon McCarthy, who has been solid this season at 5-3 with an ERA of 3.28.

Thursday at noon the finale of the three-game set will see Josh Tomlin who is just 3-8 go up against Rich Hill, who is 3-2 with a 3.77 ERA.

There’s no reason with Kluber on Wednesday and than the funky noon start on Thursday that the Indians can’t take the next two games, and get out of this homestand winning four out of six.

It’s all about winning series’ and while you knew it would be an uphill climb on Tuesday with Kershaw, the team still has a shot to rebound in a big way the next two days and get set for the upcoming road trip with a series win.
