Indians name Corey Kluber Opening Day starter for fifth straight year

With five days to go until Opening Day, the Cleveland Indians have finally named a starter for when they take on the Minnesota Twins at 4:10 ET.

Corey Kluber will take the mound for the fifth straight time as the Tribe’s season opener, moving him into a tie with Stan Covaleski for the most consecutive starts in franchise history. He still needs two more starts to pass Feller’s franchise record of seven total Opening Day starts.

Kluber will be followed by Trevor Bauer, Carlos Carrasco, Mike Clevinger, and Shane Bieber for the rotation to start the season, forming arguably the best rotation in all of baseball.
