Lonnie Chisenhall hammered a three-run homer off of David Price in the second inning and that gave Cleveland a 4-0 lead. The Red Sox were never able to solve Kluber, who pitched seven-plus innings and gave up three hits and three walks while striking out seven.
After Sandy Leon and Jackie Bradley Jr. reached in the seventh on a walk and a hit by pitch, relief pitchers Dan Otero and Bryan Shaw closed out the Red Sox in the final two innings.
The key to Cleveland's success was the ability to hold the Red Sox big hitters in check. Mookie Betts, David Ortiz and Hanley Ramirez combined for one hit in 11 at bats against the Indians' pitching staff.
The two teams will meet in Game Three on Sunday afternoon at Fenway Park.
