the Mets to a thrilling come-from-behind 3-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.
BALTIMORE -- Corey Kluber had command of his pitches, worked the strike zone
effectively and regularly got ahead in the count. Ubaldo Jimenez was pretty much
the opposite of that in a miserable performance against his former team. Kluber
struck out nine in seven innings, and the Cleveland Indians beat Jimenez and the
Baltimore Orioles 9-0 Saturday for their fifth win in six games. Carlos Santana
homered and walked three times for the Indians, who took control with a five-run
fifth and pulled away by scoring four in the seventh. Kluber (5-3) became the
first pitcher in the majors this season to have five straight outings with at
least eight strikeouts. He gave up five hits, walked two and did not allow a
runner past second base. "Aside from throwing a lot of strikes, the biggest
thing is working inside and outside," Kluber said. "I think the key is just
working ahead. Getting ahead early and staying ahead in the count and not really
letting them get comfortable up there." Kluber is 3-0 with a 2.02 ERA and 48
strikeouts in five starts this month. In this one, the right-hander dominated an
offence that had produced 38 runs and 62 hits in its previous five games. "Our
game and our league, being able to be consistent is such a huge factor in
becoming a really good major-league pitcher or player," Indians manager Terry
Francona said. "Thats what Klubes is doing. ... This is not like a shock or a
big surprise. This has been coming." Jimenez (2-6) matched zeroes with Kluber
until the fifth inning, when the first-year Oriole was pulled without getting an
out. Jimenez tied two undesirable season highs, giving up five runs and walking
five, in four-plus innings. "It looked like I was just missing a little bit of
the strike zone," the right-hander said. "Im not that far away, but Im missing.
Im falling behind in the count, getting myself into trouble. Today was walking
the leadoff guy." Manager Buck Showalter suggested that Jimenez didnt get strike
calls from home plate umpire Rob Drake on close pitches, and Jimenez agreed. "I
think I threw a lot of good pitches, but I dont know the umpire. He didnt like
it," the pitcher said. "Theres nothing I can do right now." Jimenez spent 2 1/2
seasons with Cleveeland before signing a $50 million, four-year contract with
Baltimore in February.
David
Pastrnak Bruins Jersey. "I didnt even think about who I was facing," he
said. "When you get to the mound you are trying to get everybody out, it doesnt
matter who it is. You have to do your job." Jimenez struck out three and walked
three in the first two innings, keeping the Indians hitless but using 52 pitches
to do so. "We got his pitch count up a little bit," Indians shortstop
Justin Sellers said. "He got a little tired and he started leaving balls out
over the plate." Jimenez faced the minimum six batters over the next two
innings, allowing an infield single to Michael Bourn before getting
Michael Brantley to hit into a double play. Then came the fifth inning, when
seven batters reached before Baltimore got an out. A walk, two singles and a
throwing error by second baseman Jonathan Schoop produced the games first run,
and a single by Mike Aviles made it 2-0 and chased Jimenez. T.J. McFarland
entered with the bases loaded and hit Brantley with a pitch to force in a run,
and Lonnie Chisenhall followed with an RBI single. The final run of the inning
scored on a double-play grounder. In the seventh, Brantley singled and
Chisenhall doubled before Ryan Raburn hit a two-run double. One out later,
Santana hit reliever Brad Brachs first pitch over the right-field wall. NOTES:
Before the game, the Orioles acquired C Nick Hundley (and cash considerations)
from San Diego for LHP Troy Patton. Baltimore also recalled INF
Steve Lombardozzi from Triple-A Norfolk. ... Orioles 3B Manny Machado missed a
second straight game with a strained groin, but manager Buck Showalter said
Machado was available if needed. ... Clevelands Asdrubal Cabrera and
Nick Swisher were both rested for a second consecutive game because of sore
knees. ... Trevor Bauer (1-1, 2.25 ERA) goes for Cleveland in the series finale
against Baltimores Miguel Gonzalez (2-3, 4.53). ... Brantley threw out
Steve Clevenger trying to stretch a single for his major league high sixth
outfield assist. Brantley also extended his hitting streak to 10 games. ...
Baltimore fell to 5-12 in day games, the worst record in the big leagues.
