Indians pitcher Corey Kluber produced a solid outing Tuesday, but he received his seventh loss of the season during the 3-2 loss to the Mariners.
"I don't think you can let it get frustrating," Kluber said, per MLB.com. "If you start feeling sorry for yourself or something like that, then that takes your focus away from what it needs to be on, and that's trying to get guys out. I think everybody is going to go through times when they don't get run support. I think if you start to worry about that, that probably gets in the way of pitching and makes pitching harder."
Kluber allowed two runs on seven hits over seven innings of work. He also struck out four and walked three. Kluber (3-7) gave up his first run of the game in the first inning off a double from Robinson Cano. The second run came in the second when Logan Morrison doubled in Brad Miller.
Kluber has pitched at least seven innings in each of his last six starts and he is 3-2 over those starts. His next expected start is scheduled for Sunday at Detroit.
