He also struck out 8 and walked 4 in the no decision.

Free Cleveland Indians vs. Texas Rangers MLB Prediction:
This game will come down to how Corey Kluber pitches on the road. I look for him to be successful. His stuff has been moving very well and his strikeouts have been up.
Look for the Rangers lineup to have difficulties with the Indians bullpen with Kluber starting the game.
