Indians pitcher Corey Kluber was the hard-luck loser Monday, giving up just one earned run on six hits and one walk in 6 2/3 innings while striking out five in his team's 1-0 defeat against the Dodgers.
Kluber (7-6) tossed six scoreless innings before an infield single in the seventh inning broke a scoreless tie. He's surrendered two runs or fewer in four straight starts, but Kluber is just 1-2 during that stretch. He owns a 2.99 ERA and 127:29 K:BB ratio in 117 1/3 innings after Monday's quality start. Kluber is slated to face the Royals Sunday.
