CLEVELAND: The start of 2016 was more of the same from 2015.
The Indians couldn’t give ace Corey Kluber much run support. The offense showed a bit of promise but ultimately stalled.
In the coldest season-opening game in franchise history, the Indians and Kluber fell to the Boston Red Sox 6-2 on Tuesday.
The game originally was scheduled for Monday, but low temperatures and icy conditions forced a postponement. Tuesday’s weather was dry but not much warmer — the 34-degree weather at first pitch iced out 1907’s 36-degree first-pitch temperature.
“I don’t think the conditions are an excuse,” Kluber said.
