  • The Indians are 7-1 SU in their last 8 games against teams with winning records.

Corey Kluber has completely dumbfounded the Tigers’ lineup this season, as the Cy Young contender is 3-0 with a 1.88 ERA in three starts against Detroit. Tigers’ batters are hitting a measly .146 average against Kluber this season.

Buck Farmer will get another chance to show his stuff in the starting rotation, as the youngster saw his first start of the season rained out last Wednesday. Farmer has a 4.07 ERA in seven big league appearances coming out of the bullpen this year.
