Kluber allowed a run on three hits and struck out five in six innings versus the Yankees on Saturday. He did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Kluber alternated effective and short starts during May, ending the month on a high note with one of his best outings of the year. The only run against him came on an Anthony Rizzo sacrifice fly in the first inning. Kluber has a 4.03 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 42:8 K:BB in 44.2 innings across nine starts this year, but it's a pair of bad games (four runs allowed to the Red Sox on April 22 and eight runs to the Angels on May 10) that have inflated his numbers. He carries a 1-2 record into next week's projected road start versus the Rangers.

Kluber allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two in three innings during Sunday's loss to the Orioles. He didn't factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Although Kluber held Baltimore to just two runs early in Sunday's matchup, he was pulled after throwing 73 pitches over three innings. The right-hander has recorded quality starts in three of his last five outings, but he's also been pulled after three innings in two of his last three starts. Over his first eight appearances in 2022, the 36-year-old has posted a 4.42 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 38.2 innings. Kluber tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Yankees on Saturday.

Kluber didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Tigers after allowing two runs on four hits while striking out eight over six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Kluber gave up both earned runs in the top of the fourth inning on a two-run blast by Jonathan Schoop, but he was otherwise solid on a day the Rays' offense struggled. It was a positive sign to see the right-hander bounce back following a horrendouse outing his last time out, and he's now surrendered two runs or fewer in three of his last four starts.

Kluber (1-2) took the loss after allowing eight runs on 11 hits in three innings while striking out two in a 12-0 defeat Tuesday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Kluber was hit hard throughout the night, allowing multiple runs in each of his three frames and giving up homers to Mike Trout and Chad Wallach. Coming into the game, Kluber had been quite stingy, allowing only seven runs and two homers in 26.2 innings. Following the rough start, the veteran's ERA jumped from 2.36 to 4.60. Coincidentally, the only other time in his 12-year career that he allowed eight runs was May 10, 2013, nine years ago to the day.

Kluber allowed three hits and one walk while striking out seven across six scoreless innings Wednesday against the Athletics. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Kluber needed only 64 pitches to retire 18 batters, and he has now completed six innings in consecutive starts. He also generated 10 swinging strikes to aid him to a season-best seven strikeouts. Kluber has now allowed two or fewer earned runs in four of his five starts to begin the campaign, and he owns a 2.36 ERA with a 25:6 K:BB across 26.2 frames.

Kluber (1-1) picked up the win in Friday's 6-1 victory over the Twins, allowing one run on one hit over six innings. He struck out six without walking a batter.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander fired an efficient 71 pitches (48 strikes) before exiting the game with his first quality start of the season. Kluber isn't the ace he was at his peak in Cleveland, but the 36-year-old has had a solid start to 2022, posting a 3.05 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 18:5 K:BB through 20.2 innings.

Kluber is scheduled to make his next start Friday against the Twins in Tampa rather than Thursday against the Mariners as originally planned, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
After he was roughed up four runs on 11 hits and a walk over five innings in his most recent start April 22 against the Red Sox, Kluber will get five days' rest rather than the typical four. The Rays haven't named a fill-in starter for Thursday's game and will presumably treat the contest as a bullpen day.

Kluber (0-1) allowed four runs on 11 hits in five innings, taking the loss Friday against Boston. He walked a batter and struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
Kluber gave up a pair of runs in both the first and third innings. The damage could have been greater had he not induced two double-play ground balls. After allowing only two runs and seven hits combined in his first two starts, the righty put together his least effective start of the season, allowing 12 of 25 batters to reach safely.

Kluber allowed two earned runs on four hits and no walks while striking out four across five innings Saturday against the White Sox. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Kluber surrendered a two-run home run to Jose Abreu in the fourth inning, accounting for the only damage he allowed in his outing. He needed only 75 pitches to retire 15 hitters, which was a positive step forward in efficiency after he issued four free passes across only 4.2 innings in his opening start of the campaign. Otherwise, results have been positive for Kluber early on as he's allowed a mere two earned runs with nine strikeouts across 9.2 frames.

Kluber allowed three hits and four walks over 4.2 shutout innings in Sunday's win over Baltimore. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Kluber was one out away from finishing the fifth inning and earning a win in his Rays debut before walking Cedric Mullins and yielding a single to Ryan Mountcastle. He tossed 52 of 87 pitches for strikes and forced 12 whiffs. The veteran righty posted a 3.83 ERA in 80 innings with the Yankees last season. Kluber is lined up to face the White Sox in Chicago next week.
