Home and Interleague Woes Continue for Indians Following 6-2 Loss to Padres; Three Takeaways From the Loss

2. Bauer’s Battles

Indians starter Trevor Bauer didn’t overpower the Padres by any means, but did a decent enough job that he gave the Indians a chance at a win if the offense could have pulled off some clutch hits.

On the night the Tribe starter pitched into the 5th, allowing four runs, three of which were earned, on eight hits, with two walks and seven strikeouts.

He threw 107 pitches, 62 of which were strikes. He was able to pull the team out of some self created jams, but it wasn’t enough as he again takes the loss and drops to 7-7 on the year, and will end the first half at .500.

Again taking the quality of competition into account, this was a game where Bauer could have had a very good night allowing the Indians to even up the series, but it didn’t happen.
