Indians Enter All-Star Break 47-40, Fall to Tigers 5-3; Three Takeaways From the Loss

2. Kluber Works Through Five

Indians ace Corey Kluber was matched up against another All-Star in Brad Fulmer, and Kluber had to push himself to get through five innings, leaving with the game tied at one.

Kluber did strike out eight, walked three, and allowed one run on three hits. He threw 101 pitches in the five innings of work, and had to get out of a bases loaded jam in the 5th to keep it a 1-1 game.

It wasn’t the Kluber Indians fans have seen as of late, but one that still very much kept the team in the game until the pen gave up four Tigers runs over the next two innings.

Kluber won’t throw in Tuesday’s All-Star game, and instead will get ready for the second half of the season and the teams’ west coast trip.
