Indians pitcher Corey Kluber once again had a tough day on the mound in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Royals. 

Kluber went 5 2/3 innings and allowed five earned runs. Four of those runs came early in the first inning. Kluber did strike out seven batters, though he gave up seven hits and two walks. He now holds a 5.04 ERA for the season. 

Kluber has yet to win a game and is 0-5 this season. 

Kluber's next start is projected for May 13 against the Cardinals.
