Kluber surrendered five runs on six hits and two walks and struck out three over 3.2 innings in Sunday's 9-9 tie with the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Kluber was making only his second start of the spring after the Indians eased him into the Cactus League pitching schedule with simulated games beforehand. The right-hander faced only one batter more than the minimum through three innings before loading the bases in the fourth and serving up a grand slam to Yasiel Puig. The 32-year-old started to show some cracks late last season when he noticed a stark downturn in velocity, but he still turned in another banner year and should make for a comfortable early round investments in drafts, even if he no longer finds himself in the elite tier of pitchers.
