Indians pitcher Corey Kluber was not at his best as he failed to factor into the decision Tuesday night against the Royals. The right-hander permitted three runs on six hits and three walks while striking out two over 4 2/3 innings of a 5-3 victory.

Kluber has allowed three earned runs or fewer in each of his last four starts. He is scheduled to make his next start Sunday at home against Houston. He tossed four scoreless innings over his last start against Houston on April 20.
