Result: Loss
Play: Cleveland Indians
Rating: 8/10*
The Cleveland Indians managed just four hits in a shutout loss to the A's in their first game back from the All Star break Friday night. I think they'll come back with a vengeance in Saturday's contest.
Here they'll face 23 year old rookie Paul Blackburn who will make his third start in the major leagues. He posted a 3.05 ERA 79 2/3 innings at Triple-A this season and has allowed only two runs on 11 hits in 13 2/3 innings of work against Atlanta and Seattle, but the Indians should come out in full force tonight.
Also note that the Indians are unlikely to give up many runs themselves with the phenomenal Corey Kluber (7-3, 2.80 ERA) on the mound.
Kluber has surrendered only a total of three runs through 21 innings of work in his last three starts combined. He faced the Athletics last month and tossed six scoreless innings, and now owns a strong 2.45 ERA in seven career starts against them.
