Kluber’s 12 K’s ties record

CLEVELAND (AP) — Corey Kluber allowed three hits and struck out 12 in eight innings to help the Indians beat the Texas Rangers 5-1 yesterday.

Kluber tied a franchise record held by Bob Feller with four consecutive games with double-digit strikeouts. Feller struck out 10 or more batters in his last three starts in 1938 and his first start in 1939.

It’s the 30th time that Kluber has reached double figures in strikeouts in his career.
