PRO sports MLB ROUNDUP Wisler hurt by slow start as Braves fall to Indians

ATLANTA — A slow start was too much for Matt Wisler to overcome against Corey Kluber and the streaking Cleveland Indians. Wisler gave up two first-in- ning runs and the Braves’ last- gasp comeback attempt in the ninth inning fell short in their 5-3 loss to Cleveland on Tues- day night. The Indians have won 11 straight, including the first two games of the series. It is the majors’ longest streak of the season. Wisler recovered with five scoreless innings for a strong line: six innings, six hits, two runs allowed. He set a career high with nine strikeouts. The Associated Press “First-inning struggles, it’s Atlanta relief pitcher Arodys Viz- killing me again so I’ve kind of caino sits on the bench after al- got to figure that out,” Wisler lowing two runs in the ninth in- said. “But I kind of settled in ning against Cleveland on Tues- after the first inning.
