Indians pitcher Corey Kluber earned a win on Thursday, allowing three earned runs on seven hits and one walk in seven innings while racking up 13 strikeouts in his team's 5-3 victory over the Mariners.
Kluber (3-5) had given up just two runs in 25 innings over his last three starts, but he was gifted enough run support to keep ahead of the Mariners on Thursday. He surrendered two homers on the day: a solo shot that evened the score at 1-1 in the third inning and a two-run blast in the sixth inning to reduce his lead to two runs.
Kluber owns a 3.52 ERA and 96:13 K:BB ratio in 76 2/3 innings. He's slated to face the Royals in Kansas City on Wednesday.
