SportsTime Ohio to replay two 2014 Indians games featuring Corey Kluber
In honor of Indians RHP Corey Kluber winning the 2014 American League Cy Young Award, as announced yesterday by the Baseball Writers Association of America, SportsTime Ohio will air two Indians Rewinds featuring his wins:
To air this Saturday 11/15 at 12 noon
Replay of the Indians-Rays game from Sept. 26th, Kluber's last game of the 2014 season. He struck out 11 in eight innings to shutout Tampa Bay.
To air this Sunday 11/16 at 9:00pm
Replay of the Indians-Mariners game from July 30th where Kluber faced off against Seattle All-Star Felix Hernandez and pitched a three-hit complete game shutout.
Kluber had one of the best seasons in Indians history by a starting pitcher, going 18-9 with a 2.44 ERA in 34 starts. He finished tied for 1st in the American League in wins (18) and starts (34), 2nd in strikeouts (269, 6th-most in single-season club history) and 3rd in ERA (2.44) and innings pitched (235.2). He became just the fourth Major League pitcher since 1987 to post 18 wins, a sub-2.50 ERA while recording at least 260 strikeouts, joining Bob Feller (1946) and Luis Tiant (1968) in Indians history and Pedro Martinez, Randy Johnson and Roger Clemens in the last 28 seasons. The Indians were 22-12 (.647) during his starts.
Kluber is the fourth Cleveland Indian to earn the AL Cy Young Award, joining Gaylord Perry (1972), CC Sabathia (2007) and Cliff Lee (2008). The Indians are the first team since the Toronto Blue Jays (1996-2003) to have three different Cy Young Award winners within an eight-year span.
