Scored 4 runs today. Gave up 5

I just wonder if Moncrief could have done better. He was OK in Spring training.

Moncrief started out slowly and gradually improved in his AAA debut season. He evened out his previously widely varying avg vs LH and RH, although his outs against lefties were far more often strikeouts. Overall numbers for Carlos compared to Shuck's AAA stats while with Angels:

Moncrief 271/328/431/759 xb hits: 33-4-12 sb: 8/11 k/bb: 130/38
JBShuck 320/374/352/726 xb hits: 18-9-05 sb: 12/20 k/bb: 30/43

Different kind of hitters, one a big swinger with some power, the other hits singles, triples and doesn't strike out

Tribe is up, 2-1, bottom of 3rd.

2 errors and a balk give the Indians 2 more runs!

7-2 TRIBE. KLUBER WITH 6 K's THRU 6 INNINGS.

Kluber at 104 pitches, 1st walk and 13k's 2 out 1st walk sitting on 1st

End of 7 7-2. Chiz with a with a belly flopper glove stretched out on a foul pop about half way down the line.
Also at this time, Kluber leads the A.L. in K's

Brantley with another single, leaves him 7 short of 200.

Go to the bottom of the 8th, 7-2 still and will Kluber come out? he is at 108 pitches I think.

14 k's now 112 pitch count I think.

Kluber looks like he is not exerting much effort. 7-2. we go to the 9th

Hagadone in for the 9th. 1, 2, 3. tribe wins 7-2

More pitching records by the Tribe: Kluber first pitcher with back to back 14+ strikeout games since The Big Unit a decade ago. Last time out Carrasco matched a Sandy Koufax pitching mark. A rather amazing week of pitching by the Tribe.
Pitching staff set the major league record for strikeouts; this past month has been incredible.
