Tonight at 10:05 p.m. ET, the Cleveland Indians (1-0) and Oakland Athletics (0-1) take the field at the O.co Coliseum in Oakland to continue their series. The game can be live streamed here. Cleveland fans can hear all of the action on WTAM 1100 while Oakland fans can do the same on 95.7 The Game.
Scott Kazmir takes the ball for the Athletics after going 10-9 last season with the Indians along with a 4.04 ERA while Corey Kluber takes the mound for the Indians after going 11-5 with a 3.85 ERA in 2013.
Kazmir faces the Tribe just a year after appearing in 29 games for them.
"I know they're going to try to mess with me while I'm up on the mound, try to take away from my focus," Kazmir said per MLB.com. "But I'll just be locked in. I can't even stare at them because they're a bunch of jokesters over there."
The Indians didn't deny the accusations.
"He'll get a smile from me in the box or something," Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis, who put up career-highs in homers (17) and RBI (84) last season, said per MLB.com. "And I'm sure there will be something going on when [Nick Swisher] gets in the box."
The Athletics will be looking to bounce back from a 2-0 loss Monday after closer Jim Johnson gave up both runs in the ninth inning to give the A's their 10th straight Opening Day loss, the longest streak in the majors.
John Axford collected the save for the Indians after walking and striking out two. It was his first save since Oct. 2, 2012.
The Athletics and Indians continue their 2014 campaigns when they take the field at the O.co Coliseum today in Oakland.
