Two Aces

Danny Salazar pitched his second good outing since returning from the disabled list Friday night. The Cleveland starter gave the Tribe 13 innings of work since his return, with four hits allowed, two runs, two walks and 16 strikeouts. That gives the Indians two aces down the stretch with Corey Kluber pitching well. The last two times through the rotation shows the Indians starters 5-0 with a 2.60 ERA, 10.3 K per nine, 2.3 walks per nine, and eight home runs allowed in 62 1/3 innings. That will win them a lot of games.

Salazar, due to the missed time, should be well rested down the stretch as well. That might give the Indians the ability to rest a starter every so often, depending on how long the Royals can keep up their winning ways.
