On Monday night, Kluber was not at his sharpest, but neither were Cleveland's defense or offense, and that combination led to a 6-2 loss to the Royals at Progressive Field. The right-hander was hung with six runs (four earned) and finished his part in the Tribe's turbulent April with no wins on his personal line and no wins for the club on the days he has started.
"I'll take him any day of the week, though," Indians manager Terry Francona said.
The fact that Kluber has yet to win a game does not necessarily portend a trying summer for the reigning Cy Young winner.
