Almost 1K/inning, and less than 10P/IP. That's just awesome.

Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan 48m

Corey Kluber threw an 85-pitch shutout tonight against Seattle. Only the seventh blanking on 85 or fewer pitches since turn of millennium.

The previous six: Aaron Cook (81), Jeff Karstens (83), Aaron Cook (79), Rich Harden (81), Roy Halladay (83), Jon Lieber (78). Cook twice!

This is shocking: Greg Maddux threw only one shutout on fewer than 85 pitches in his career. Had two with 88, three with 89, 13 under 100.

And Tyler Cloyd threw a no hitter for Columbus tonight.

He lost the perfect game in 9th inning when he hit a batter!

Just looking at Kluber's line, you wont see a more dominating performance.

Things that jump out:

85 pitches

no walks 16 balls the entire game

28 batters faced---- one over the minimum

The thing I love about Kluber is he pitched his way to the Majors without much fanfare or hype. He just keeps getting better and better.

Nothing better than seeing a player seize an opportunity and run with it.

Just noticed that Akron pitchers combined for a shutout tonight too.

Oh wow, how about this factoid ...

@ESPNStatsInfo: Via @EliasSports, Corey Kluber is the only pitcher in the last 100 seasons with consecutive starts of 9 IP and 28 batters faced.

Oh my god after all these years finally and Indians player sea likes! Sweet!!!

Now if we can only get joez to like him better than some 16 year old Cuban power hitter we might really be on to something!!!

Hope Tribe deals Cabby today and Ax too. Don't care what we get back really just send out the $$$$ and stay away from FA!!!

I wish we had a couple of those "16" year old Cubans on our side, Frank. Maybe Nelson Cruz even. Our stars might be shining much better today. :P

What a game last night!!! Also note that a game like that doesn't take 3 hours to play. 2 hours and bout 10 mins. One of those games you blink and you WILL miss something.
