Walk-off Gomer: 3 takeaways as Gomes’ 2-run shot lifts Tribe over Royals

3. Cloudy with a chance of Sunshine

Mike Clevinger did not factor into the decision as the Indians were down 1-0 when he exited the game in the eighth inning.

His final line was four strikeouts, two walks, nine hits and one earned run through seven and one-third innings. Of his 110 pitches, 73 were strikes. The innings and total pitches were both career highs for Clevinger.

“It’s early, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction,” Clevinger said when asked about his start. “That’s been the biggest goal this offseason, was to feel confident and comfortable and strong going into that 100 pitch count.”

Cody Allen got the win on the mound after pitching the ninth inning and recording two strikeouts.
