Well, Cleveland sports fans, it’s almost time for tipoff at Quicken Loans Arena, where your Cleveland Cavaliers will try to take Game 4 of the NBA Finals from the Golden State Warriors.
Wait, what’s that? Wrong sport? Oh, right.
While I think nearly every Cleveland sports fan is in fact rooting for the Cavs this evening, this is a Cleveland Indians blog, so let’s talk baseball for the three or four of you who are reading this! Tonight the Cleveland Indians take on the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim at Angel Stadium. The Indians, who currently stride like a colossus atop the AL Central with a full three-game lead over the Kansas City Royals and Detroit Tigers, are coming off a series with the Seattle Mariners which saw each team win two of the four games. Pitching for the Indians tonight is Corey Kluber, who has pitched well in three of his last four starts. The Angels are going with Hector Santiago, who is coming off three consecutive lackluster outings. May he have yet another one!
