Kluber allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out eight in a complete game victory over the Angels on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Kluber evened his record at 6-6 and has now struck out eight or more batters in six straight starts and appears to be rounding into form after some uneven starts to start the season.

Kluber (5-6) allowed just two hits and two walks over six scoreless innings Sunday, striking out six, in a win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
It's his seventh quality start of the season, and Kluber has struck out six or more batters in five straight starts. His 3.84 ERA remains a bit inflated, but his 79:18 K:BB in 79.2 innings is still elite. Kluber will next take the mound on the road Friday against the Angels.

Kluber (4-6) allowed six runs on eight hits in seven innings, walking none and striking out six in Tuesday's loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Although his 3.10 FIP isn't bad, Kluber's ERA has now climbed to 4.15. While the 2014 Cy Young Award winner has been far from the level that earned him those honors this season, owners can point to his 15:1 K:BB in the last two starts as a sign of a possible turnaround. He'll have a chance to start converting that impressive ratio to results elsewhere in his next outing Sunday against an unimpressive Royals offense.

Kluber (4-5) picked up the win Wednesday afternoon against the White Sox. He tossed 7.1 innings, allowing two runs (one earned), seven hits and a walk while striking out nine.
EDGE Analysis
The 2014 AL Cy Young winner has struggled at times this season, but he was near top form Wednesday while picking up his third win of the month. Kluber trimmed his ERA to 3.78, the second-lowest number it has been all season, while slicing his WHIP slightly to 1.11. He'll face a tough task when he takes on the Rangers in his next start Tuesday.

Kluber (3-5) surrendered five hits, two earned runs and two walks in Friday's 4-2 victory over the Red Sox. He struck out six.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old's rollercoaster season was on an upswing again Friday, as he extracted a measure of revenge against the club that touched him up for nine hits and four earned runs in his first start of the season. Kluber was able to largely neutralize one of the most dangerous offenses in baseball by throwing 66 of 105 for strikes, and inducing 12 swinging strikes in the process. The former Cy Young winner has sandwiched a complete-game shutout of the Tigers and Friday's quality start around a pair of outings against the Astros and Twins where he gave up a combined 12 hits, nine earned runs and six walks over 9.1 innings. He'll try to put a second consecutive productive outing together when he faces the White Sox in Chicago next Wednesday.

Kluber (2-5) surrendered seven hits, four earned runs and three walks over 6.2 innings in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Twins. He struck out seven.
EDGE Analysis
Kluber had some trouble with his control, throwing only 66 of his 110 pitches for strikes. He also issued multiple walks for the third straight start, and has now surrendered nine earned runs over the last nine innings across the two starts, following a complete-game gem against the Tigers on May 4. The recent struggles have the 30-year-old's ERA back up to 4.30, while his record continues to drift further away from the .500 mark.

Kluber (2-4) allowed five runs on five hits and three walks over 2.2 innings with three strikeouts in a loss Monday against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Kluber had allowed just three earned runs in his past three starts, a span covering 24 innings, before this disaster. While Kluber is still capable of gems, he has been far more vulnerable over the past season and change than he was in his Cy Young campaign of 2014. After allowing five earned runs or more just twice in 34 starts in his Cy season, he has been lit up for at least five runs seven times in 39 starts since. Two of those have come in 2016, and his ERA is now up to 4.14.

Kluber (2-3) looked like his old self Wednesday against the Tigers, tossing a complete-game shutout, allowing five hits and two walks while striking out seven.
EDGE Analysis
Kluber turned in a vintage performance Wednesday, creating a wave of groundball outs and sidestepping a handful of jams en route to a 4-0 victory. The righty generated 16 outs via grounders, including a pair of double plays while beating the Tigers for the second time this season. Aside from two bad outings in his first three, Kluber has been his normal self and holds a beautiful 42:7 K:BB through his first six starts (34 innings).

Kluber allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits, he did not walk a hitter and struck out six over seven innings, netting a no-decision against the Phillies on Friday night.
EDGE Analysis
After a rugged start to the season, Kluber turned in a second straight quality start, but came away with a no-decision as the Indians fell to Philadelphia 4-3 in 11 innings. He was efficient, needing just 90 pitches (61 for strikes) to cover seven innings, but he left with the game tied. He'll take an improving 4.24 ERA into his next start against Detroit.
