A look at what's happening all around the majors today:

STREAKING KLUBER
Cleveland right-hander Corey Kluber is 4-1 going into Wednesday's game against Texas and has won four consecutive starts. His 2.18 ERA is the lowest through April for an Indians pitcher with at least 40 innings since Tom Candiotti's 2.13 ERA in 1988. He had a three-hit shutout last Friday against Seattle before Kyle Seager's two-out single in the ninth and was taken out in favor of closer Cody Allen. Kluber struck out 10, reaching double figures for the 41st time. Rangers starter Matt Moore has cut his ERA from 11.05 to 5.33 in his past four games, including three starts.

The 2014 NL Rookie of the Year is 5-3 with a 1.99 ERA in 12 starts vs. the Braves, including a 1.38 mark in four outings at home, and hasn't lost to them since June 2016.
