![]() ALCS MVP Andrew Miller threw 46 pitches in relief, which may limit how he is used in Game Two.Ĭore Kluber’s outing works to magnify Bob Gibson’s dominance when he fanned a World Series single-game record of 17 – as his Cardinals topped the Tigers 4-0 in Game One of the 1968 WS. ![]() A couple of observations: Kluber threw just 88 pitches, which opens options for how he is used (three starts or two starts and a relief appearance) later in the Series.

The 2014 Cy Young Award winner was the staff ace in 2016, going 18-9, 3.14 and fanning 227 batters in 215 innings. Corey Kluber, who started on the mound for the Indians, was an expected hero.
