Kevin Slowey tossed a pair of shutout innings in his Indians debut Tuesday, allowing four hits while walking and striking out no one against the Royals' split-squad. Slowey had to strand a few runners, but at least all four hits he gave up were singles. The former Twin is an option to fill in at the back of the Indians rotation until Roberto Hernandez is ready, though he's coming off a woeful season where he posted a 6.67 ERA over 14 appearances.
