Notes/records

On March 31, umpire Mike Winters became the first umpire to initiate a review under Major League Baseball's new replay system, wanting to confirm that Athletics catcher John Jaso did not block the plate unnecessarily as Michael Brantley attempted to score.
On April 10, Danny Salazar became the first pitcher in the modern era (since 1900) to record 10 strikeouts before the end of the fourth inning of a game.
On April 24, Corey Kluber became the first Indians pitcher to throw a complete game with 11 strikeouts, 0 walks, and 0 earned runs since Len Barker's perfect game on May 15, 1981.
On May 4, George Kottaras became the first player in franchise history to hit home runs in his first two at-bats as an Indian.
On May 14, David Murphy and Lonnie Chisenhall both had 5 hits, the first time two Indians players had done so in the same nine-inning game since 1928.
On May 21, the Indians defeated the Detroit Tigers 11-10 in 13 innings on a walk-off balk, the first one in the majors since July 4, 2011, and the first in extra innings since June 16, 2011.
Corey Kluber recorded 60 strikeouts in May, the first Indians pitcher with 60 strikeouts in a month since Dennis Eckersley in September 1976.
On June 9, Lonnie Chisenhall became the first player to go 5-5 with 3 HR and 9 RBI since MLB began tracking RBI in 1920. The 9 RBI tied a franchise record, also accomplished by Chris James in 1991.
On September 26, the Indians set a major league record for strikeouts by pitchers with 1,431, breaking the mark set by the 2013 Detroit Tigers. They ended the season with 1,450.
On November 12, Corey Kluber became the 4th Indians pitcher to win the American League Cy Young Award.
