Corey Kluber
SP FA
Kluber struck out 14 over eight innings Thursday in Tampa, but also gave up four runs (three earned) on seven hits and a walk.
He didn't receive a decision for his trouble, as this game ended up taking 10 innings to decide. Nonetheless, he continues to pile up the double-digit-strikeout games, as Thursday's was his second in a row and fifth in his last 10 starts. Kluber just needs to avoid the one or two bad innings that seem to dog him every start. He holds a solid 1.16 WHIP over his last seven starts, but a non-matching 3.86 ERA, as Kluber continues to be haunted by a low strand rate and high BABIP.
