Indians 1st team with 4 starters to have 200 K's

CLEVELAND -- The Progressive Field crowd rose to its feet and Mike Clevinger paused for a moment behind the mound, collecting himself amidst a standing ovation in the second inning on Saturday night. With a strikeout of the Red Sox's Jackie Bradley Jr., Clevinger put the 2018 Indians into the record books.

Clevinger's strikeout of Bradley marked the 200th punchout of the season for the Indians' starter, making Cleveland the only team in Major League history to have four pitchers reach that milestone in the same campaign. Clevinger joined ace Corey Kluber, Carlos Carrasco and Trevor Bauer in the 200-K club.
