Kluber Knocked Out Early in Shortest Career Outing as Cardinals Pound

Five days ago Indians fans were put to ease by the outing Corey Kluber had against the White Sox at home, as he and the team blasted Chicago 12-0 at Progressive Field, rebounding from Kluber’s previous start in which he went five innings against the Twins in bad home loss.

In his final start of the month on Tuesday night in St.Louis, the Cardinals didn’t play along with the script that the Indians were hoping for their two-time Cy Young award winner, as they slammed Kluber in his worst and shortest outing of his career in a Cardinals 11-2 win.

It was so bad for the Indians ace that manager Terry Francona pulled Kluber after 1.2 innings after Jose Martinez conceded a three-run homer, giving St.Louis a 6-2 lead.

It was a nightmare night for the second straight night in St.Louis, here’s three takeaways from the bad Tribe setback.
