Right-hander Cooper Criswell will get the nod in the second game of a three-game series at Progressive Field, manager Alex Cora said after a 4-1 loss in the opener. It'll be Criswell's second start (and third appearance) of the season. He owns a 4.26 ERA in 6 ⅓ big league innings this season; Criswell allowed two earned runs on five hits in four innings
