Clevenger allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk in Friday's 6-4 loss to Kansas City. He struck out six.
The 26-year-old righty wasn't particularly sharp in this contest, allowing four extra-base hits including two home runs. He's coming off of an outing on the road against Houston in which he went seven shutout innings, so this was a bit of a disappointing follow-up. His ERA rose over an entire point in this game, to a still-respectable 2.82 on the season. Though he isn't penciled in to make another start at this point, manager Terry Francona has been keen on the idea of potentially keeping him in the rotation. Monitor his status moving forward.
