Former two-time Indians Cy Young winner Corey Kluber returned to the mound Thursday afternoon. But it wasn’t in Cleveland. Instead two hours south down Interstate 71 in Columbus was Kluber’s first outing since he hit in the forearm.
Kluber was hit in the right forearm against the Miami Marlins back on May 1st. He immediately left the game and later found out he had fracture.
Here’s the results from the first start earlier on Thursday:
3 innings, 2 hits, 2 earned, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts, 2 home runs, 6.00 ERA, 41 pitches.
Forget the ERA and the home runs.
