Kluber (15-9) allowed four runs on four hits over seven innings in a losing effort against the Astros Tuesday. He struck out nine and walked three.

EDGE Analysis

Aside from Kluber's second inning, in which he issued two walks followed by a three-run homer to first baseman Marwin Gonzalez, this was a respectable showing largely in line with his strong August. He struck out nine and retired the final 10 batters he faced before exiting the game in the seventh. It marked the first time the Cleveland ace has allowed more than four runs in a start since July 3. His next start comes against Minnesota on September 11.
