ALDS Game 2: How to watch Indians and Red Sox online
Here’s how to watch and live stream Game 2 of the American League Division Series featuring the Boston Red Sox at Cleveland Indians on television and online on Friday, Oct. 7.
The Cleveland Indians shocked the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night, taking Game 1 of the American League Division Series, 5-4. The Red Sox pitchers struggled early in the ALDS opener, with Rick Porcello completely falling apart in the bottom of the third inning with back-to-back-to-back homers from Roberto Perez, Jason Kipnis, and Francisco Lindor.
The action returns on Friday in Game 2 when Red Sox starter David Price goes up against Indians ace Corey Kluber. Kluber is starting in Game 2 to give him an extra day of rest after coming out of the Sept. 26 game against the Detroit Lions after the fourth inning with some quad tightness.
Manager Terry Francona said Kluber would get some work in on Tuesday to prepare him for Friday’s game.
The Kluber matchup against Price is a repeat of the Opening Day lineup, a game that saw Price dominate the Indians with six shutout innings and 10 strikeouts. Kluber is 18-9 with a 3.14 ERA in 2016, compared to Price’s 3.99 ERA.
More on FanSided:
Kluber wanted to be ready in time for Game 1 but Francona exercised caution in moving too fast. “Klub really wanted to pitch Thursday… I just took it out of his hands. Now he can prepare for Game 2. He can do that without the anxiety and worry or rushing.”
