Indians' Kluber hopes to get rolling vs. Rays

CLEVELAND -- With a 14-game lead in the American League Central, it will not be a high-stress September for the postseason-bound Cleveland Indians.

But the Indians do have some priorities in the last month of the regular season. One of them involves their starting pitcher on Friday night when they host the Tampa Bay Rays in the first game of a three-game series at Progressive Field.

That pitcher is Corey Kluber, whom the Indians would like to get on a roll going into the postseason. The two-time Cy Young Award winner has had an up and down second half of the season, which started at the All-Star break, during which he received an injection to deal with right knee inflammation.
