"That shows the consistency and, really, the dominance that he's had lately," pitching coach Mickey Callaway said of Allen. "It feels to me like he's striking out two every time he goes out there. Obviously, that makes it a little easier to get through an inning when you're recording those kind of strikeouts."
In fact, Allen headed into Saturday's action riding a streak of five straight outings with at least two strikeouts, marking the longest such streak by a Tribe reliever since 2009 (six in a row by Tony Sipp). The record for that unique streak by an Indians reliever is eight games in row (done five times in team history).
