Kluber didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 9-4 loss to the Royals, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings while striking out six.
The right-hander got pulled after 80 pitches (59 strikes) in a meaningless game for Cleveland, and he should be well-rested when he faces Justin Verlander on Friday in the first game of their ALDS. Kluber wraps up his regular season with a career-high 20 wins, a 2.89 ERA and 222 strikeouts -- his fifth straight campaign with at least 200 K's.
