Indians 5, Rangers 2: Corey Kluber allowed one run and six hits over eight innings as visiting Cleveland beat Texas to snap an eight-game losing streak.

Drew Stubbs had a two-run single and Nick Swisher and Mark Reynolds added run-scoring singles as the Indians halted a 12-game road losing skid.

Kluber (4-4) held the Rangers scoreless until David Murphy recorded a run-scoring double with two out in the eighth. Joe Smith allowed a ninth-inning homer to A.J. Pierzynski before finishing Cleveland’s fifth victory in the last 21 games.

Reynolds’ fourth-inning single got the Indians on the board. Cleveland added three runs in the fifth on Stubbs’ hit against Derek Holland and Swisher’s single, and the Indians added a run in the seventh when Jason Kipnis scored on a wild pitch by Kyle McClellan.

Holland (5-3) allowed four runs and nine hits in 4 1/3 innings. He had won four consecutive decisions.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Cleveland’s worst road losing streak was 15 in 2009. … Rangers 3B Adrian Beltre is hitless in seven at-bats in the series after entering with a 14-game hitting streak. … Batting practice was canceled after an underground pipe burst behind the pitcher’s mound and created a sinkhole that the grounds crew had to repair.
