4 years agoCleveland Indians starting pitcher Mike Clevinger allowed four runs on six hits and five walks over four innings. He struck out five. Clevinger had a rough first inning that saw him give up three runs, but he was able to settle down after that. The right-hander needed 88 pitches (47 strikes) to record 12 outs. “I feel like I’m pitching with someone else’s arsenal out there right now,” Clevinger said. “My release point’s changed a lot, my mechanics have changed, my leg lift is causing me to leak forward, I’m getting on my toes and [I go] on my heel.” Clevinger is projected to face the Reds on Wednesday at home for his next start. This was a small step back for Clevinger, but he's a blossoming fantasy stud and should be started with confidence going forward.--James Stokke
