Machado takes Kluber deep for 4th HR in 4 days
Machado's solo homer in the 1st BALTIMORE -- Manny Machado went deep for the fourth time in four games on Sunday, belting an impressive two-out solo homer off Indians ace Corey Kluber.
Machado's team-leading seventh homer came on a 92-mph Kluber sinker, soaring over left field to give the Orioles a 1-0 lead in the first inning. Kluber, who tossed a shutout in his previous start at Camden Yards last June, entered the day with a 2-1 record and a 1.52 ERA. Since the start of 2016, Kluber has held opposing batters to a .201 batting average, which ranks second in baseball to Max Scherzer's .187 over that span.
