CLEVELAND – A night after losing a tough 2-1 decision, the Indians won their second game in three days with a 5-3 quality win over a quality pitcher in Yu Darvish and the Rangers.

Trevor Bauer was good again at Progressive Field, moving to 4-2 at home this season and moving overall to 7-6 on the 2017 season.

The offense was paced by a run in the first and two in the third and two more in the seventh, but it was enough to get the job done and move the team to 41-36 on the season.

The club now sits at 2-4 on the homestand, but have a great shot to get to 3-4 as they wrap up the seven-game set with a final home game Thursday at noon.
