Bauer Blasted as Tigers Pound Indians 7-1; Three Takeaways From the Loss

1. No Power From Bauer

Indians starter Trevor Bauer was coming off two decent starts, the last of which was last Wednesday at home against the Houston Astros in an eventual 7-6 Tribe win.

In that game he allowed a pair of two run homers that allowed the Astros to stay in the game. Monday night in Detroit, he put the Indians behind the 8-ball quickly, to a point they were never in the game.

Detroit jumped on Bauer, they got two right away on doubles from Nick Castellanos and Victor Martinez, and then in the second inning they got three to basically seal the win.

In that second inning Bauer allowed a walk and a single with one out, and then Tyler Collins slammed a back breaking three-run homer to make it a 5-0 game.

While the Indians offense didn’t do much to help out Bauer with just one run, his outing was a lot more like his first two of the year when he allowed 10 runs in 10.2 innings in losses to the Diamondbacks and Tigers.

He will be back on the mound on Saturday when the Indians are in Kansas City for a 4:15pm showdown with the Royals.
