Former Worcester Bravehearts pitcher Aaron Civale earned a win in his Major League Baseball debut for the Cleveland Indians on Saturday afternoon.
Civale was called up from the Indians’ AAA-affiliate Columbus Clippers to make a spot-start in place of pitcher Mike Clevinger who was placed on the IL with a sprained ankle.
The 24-year-old pitched six shutout innings — giving up only two hits and striking out six. Civale struck out the side in the first inning.
