CLEVELAND - The red-hot Indians are back at home tonight for game two of their 10-game homestand featuring the A's, Reds and Yankees.

Friday night saw the return of Carlos Carrasco, and while it wasn't the best of starts as the A's built an early 2-0 lead, the offense got going and Carrasco settled in as the Tribe put up 10 runs in a 10-4 win.

Winners of five straight, the team will look for another win in what should be their second straight sellout at Progressive Field this afternoon on a day Indians fans have come to know and love - Kluber Day.

Here's a look at tonight's game with a quick preview.

1. Kluber Looks to Keep the Train Rolling

The Indians and their fans were stunned on June 26th in St.Louis when Corey Kluber turned in his shortest outing of his career, but as he did earlier in June when he struggled, he quickly was back to form his next time out.

On Monday against the Royals he went six innings, giving up three runs on seven hits with no walk and five K's as the Indians pounded the KC 12-4.

Other than the hiccup against the Twins at home, Kluber has been so steady at Progressive Field it's tough to think he'll have a misstep against the A's today, as back on June 1st of last season at home he went six shutout innings in a Tribe 8-0 win.

2. Jackson Looks for a Repeat

Don't fall asleep today on A's starter Edwin Jackson, as he's dominated the Indians in his career, going 10-1 against them including being the last pitcher to score a win against them last week.

Jackson is on his 13th MLB club, tying a record, but looked steady and in control as he went 6.2 innings, allowing two runs on two hits with no walks in the A's 7-2 win over the Tribe on June 30th.

The A's have to be happy on the shot they have taken on Jackson thus far, two starts in he's thrown two quality starts. He will need a third today in what could be a fun pitching matchup against Kluber.

3. Top of the Order to Ya

The Indians first four in the order were on fire on Friday, basically lifting the team to a win on their backs.

Eight hits, nine runs scored and seven runs batted in between the foursome of Lindor, Brantley, Ramirez and Encarnacion.

These four (more so the first three) have been the reason since May the Indians offense has been as dangerous has it's been, and look for more as they try to solve the mystery of Edwin Jackson today.
