#CyKluber: Indians show support for their teammate via Twitter
Corey Kluber has made an extremely convincing case for this year's American League Cy Young Award and his stellar performance Friday night was the perfect way to end his amazing season.
During Friday night's Indians-Rays game, the hashtag #CyKluber started trending on Twitter. After the game, Kluber's teammates got in on the Twitter action to show their support for their Cy Young-worthy teammate:
Even one of Kluber's former teammates, John Axford — who was claimed off waivers by the Pittsburgh Pirates on Aug. 14 — shared his support for the Klubot on social media.

Kluber joins Bob Feller as the only pitchers in Indians franchise history to record a season of at least 18 wins and 265 strikeouts while having an ERA of 2.50 or lower.
Dear @CKluber, I like you. You are good at baseball. Can you please win the Cy Young Award. I heart you. Thank you. #CyKluber Love, John
