Runs Aplenty After Lineup Shakeup As Indians Pound Twins 8-3; Three Takeaways From the Win

3. Bauer Finally Showing Some Power

After allowing 11 earned runs in 10 innings in his last two starts, Sunday we got the ‘good’ Trevor Bauer, as he went six innings and one batter, allowing three runs on seven hits with no walks and seven strikeouts.

Bauer in his now three home starts in 2017 has allowed 13 earned runs in 17 innings, striking out 21 batters. On the road it’s been a totally different story, allowing 17 earned runs in 22 innings, striking out 23 batters in four starts.

It was good to see him get a lead and then even more so keep it and unlike Danny Salazar last Wednesday in Toronto, as Bauer was able to make the runs hold up.

Bauer will be back on the mound on Friday when the Indians open a weekend series at Houston against the Astros. The Tribe starter allowed four runs in six innings the last time he faced Houston back on April 26th in an Indians 7-6 win.
