CLEVELAND NOTES: Kluber surrendered five earned runs over five innings in his final Cactus League start last Tuesday against the Brewers. He allowed two home runs to Orlando Arcia and one to Ryan Braun. It wasn’t a great outing for the Cleveland ace, but he should be ready to rock for a Tribe team that is a legit World Series contender again this year.
TEXAS NOTES: Darvish gets the nod over Cole Hamels for opening day honors for the Rangers. He looked good this spring, posting a 2.54 ERA, a 1.50 WHIP and a 17/8 K/BB ratio over 12 2/3 innings for the Rangers in Cactus League play.
