The bats were quiet during the Cleveland Indians first game of the regular season, but that’s not enough to damper expectations on a team that plans on challenging the Detroit Tigers for a division title.
The Indians lost 2-0 to the Houston Astros on Monday, as 2014 AL Cy Young Award winner Corey Kluber received three hits of support in his first outing. Kluber took a no-hitter into the sixth inning before giving up two runs. Dallas Keuchel was impressive for the Astros, going seven innings and only giving up three hits in a winning effort.
Both teams are off Tuesday before Houston’s Scott Feldman opposes Carlos Carrasco on Wednesday. Carrasco has been great in three games, with two starts, in his career against Houston, going 1-0 with a 0.56 ERA and 21 strikeouts. The series concludes on Thursday at 2:10 p.m. when Trevor Bauer faces Asher Wojciechowski.
Over the weekend, the Indians will have their first home series at Progressive Field, including their home opener against the Detroit Tigers on Friday, April 10th. These are the most expensive Cleveland Indians tickets according to TiqIQ.com, with an average ticket price of $194.56 and a walk-in price of $70. On April 11th, the average ticket price is $68.98 and the following day the average ticket price is $48. The walk-in prices are $23 and $12 respectively.
