VIDEO: Indians Rookie Aaron Civale Tosses 6 Dominant Innings in MLB Debut
By Adam Weinrib
The Cleveland Indians are making the slightest of Wild Card surges right about now, and every time they surge forward, it's due to a new injection of home-grown pitching. From the folks who brought you "Zach Plesac," we hope you enjoy Aaron Civale, who showed OUT against the Detroit Tigers in the first start of his career on Saturday.

Civale, the 24-year-old out of Northeastern of all places, was equally dominant in the minors this season, splitting time between Double-A and Triple-A, putting up a 2.85 ERA combined between the pair of levels.
Paired with Plesac, who arrived in the show last month and carries a 2.56 ERA in five starts, these two have done plenty to show the Indians have a surplus of young talent to pluck from in this department.
