May 13 at Progressive Field in Cleveland, OH
Fox Sports Ohio
Reigning AL Cy Young winner Corey Kluber came into the night 0-5 with a 5.04 ERA, but was nearly unhittable in Cleveland's 2-0 win.
Kluber was, in fact, unhittable until Jhonny Peralta broke up the no-hit bid with a two-out single in the seventh. Kluber struck out the side in that inning, as well as two other frames on his way to eight innings of one-hit ball and a franchise record-tying 18 strike outs. He was fantastic.
* Good broadcast for Baseball Phrases from Fox Sports' Matt Underwood & Rick Manning. Here's their top 6:
6. "He's Cleveland tough"
5. "He could hit one out of the Grand Canyon"
4. "First time through, five punchies"
3. "He got him to go fish"
2. "The Klu-bot machine rolls on"
1. "Sweet 16 for Corey Kluber!"
and the rest of a solid night of nonsense:
"Unable to answer the bell"
"Cream of the crop"
"Flex their muscles"
"Their M-O"
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it"
"Model of efficiency"
"Old reliable"
"Firing pellets"
