Bauer Goes Seven Shutout Innings, Indians Top White Sox 6-2; Three Takeaways

1. Bauer Stops the Sox Cold

Trevor Bauer said he just didn’t feel right early on, and while he got a key strikeout/throw out in the first inning, he finally settled in and looked strong in shutting out the Sox for seven innings.

On the night he allowed three hits and struck out eight, walking two. The Indians pitchers 129 strikeouts through 71 team games are the most by an Indians pitcher since Sam McDowell had 151 strikeouts at this juncture of the 1970 season.

He continues to throw the ball as well as anyone in the Majors, and manager Terry Francona said that if not for the rain, he would have come out for the eighth inning.

Only Mother Nature could stop Bauer in this dominant outing.
