The Boys Are Back: Indians Start 2018 Campaign With West Coast Visit To Seattle; Three Keys To A Victory

1. Kluber Looking For First Opening Day Victory- For as good as Corey Kluber has been for Cleveland, it would catch most off-guard when told that he is 0-2 when starting off the season. In fact, Kluber has actually had some of his more interesting struggles in his first start of the year. After only allowing two runs to Houston in 2015’s loss, the Tribe’s ace allowed four and five runs in his last two openers. He holds a 3.66 ERA on Opening Day, something he’ll be looking to change.

The obvious key here for Kluber is just to do what he does best and that is letting the game come to him. Once he gets in a groove, it’s hard to stop him. The first few innings will be a telling sign of how the outing will go for him, as he’ll be trying to get into the seventh inning for the first time since three seasons ago.
