   What to know about the Twins-Indians game:
   The Tribe is slated to send Mike Clevinger to the mound. The 27-year-old right-hander has made a career-high 26 starts during his third Major League season, and has been very good, posting a 3.30 ERA and 1.23 WHIP. He has pitched at least six innings in 20 of those 26 outings. Thursday's start will be his third against Minnesota this season. On June 3 at Target Field, he gave up four runs on seven hits over six innings during a 7-5 Indians loss. He fared much better on Aug. 8, when he gave up just one run on five hits over seven innings in a 5-2 Tribe victory.

The Twins will counter with Jake Odorizzi, whom Minnesota acquired from the Rays in a trade last offseason. In 27 starts this season, the 28-year-old right-hander has a 4.38 ERA. He's coming off a strong outing against the A's last Friday, in which he yielded two runs (one earned) on five hits over seven innings. Thursday's start will be his fifth of the season against Cleveland. He's struggled against the Tribe in 2018, posting a 7.85 ERA over 18 1/3 innings.
