It is the last regular season road trip of 2017, and the Indians will play a 6-game swing through Anaheim and Seattle.  In the series opener against the Angels tonight, Mike Clevinger takes the mound against Tyler Skaggs.  You may remember that Clevinger has ties to Anaheim – he was once an Angels prospect, traded to the Indians in the Vinnie Pestano deal. Even though the Indians have already clinched the AL Central, the Angels are still in contention for the second wild card spot, while the Tribe hopes to lock up home field advantage for the postseason.
