Tale of the Tape: Cy Young winners to battle

The first game of the American League Division Series between the Red Sox and Indians featured plenty of offense. Game 2 could very well be dominated by pitching, as two former Cy Young Award winners take the hill at Progressive Field on Friday at 4:30 p.m. ET on TBS.

The Indians, who scored a 5-4 win in Game 1, hand the ball to ace Corey Kluber for his postseason debut. He’ll oppose Red Sox lefty David Price, making his ninth career October start. However, Price is just 2-7 with a 5.12 ERA over his career in the playoffs.

Season stats Price: 17-9, 3.99 ERA, 230 IP, 228 K’s, 1.204 WHIIP Kluber: 18-9, 3.14 ERA, 215 IP, 227 K’s, 1.056 WHIP
