Indians starter Corey Kluber threw eight shutout innings Sunday for a home win over the Nationals. Kluber gave up seven hits and survived a bases-loaded jam in the seventh inning, but earned the win.

Kluber improved to 5-4 on the season as he didn't walk a batter over 114 pitches and eight shutout frames with eight Ks. He got a lineout double play to protect the scoreless advantage in the seventh and went 1-2-3 in the eighth to finish his afternoon.

Kluber, who lowered his ERA to 3.58 with the performance, has won back-to-back outings with just one run allowed over 16 innings with 11 strikeouts over that span. He's rolling right now and is scheduled for his next start Saturday against Minnesota.
