Late Runs Push Tribe to Third Straight, Beat Twins 6-2; Three Takeaways From the Victory

2. Bauer Showing More Power

Two Indians starters that fans seemed to have a lot of worries about entering Minnesota seemed to right the ship some, that being Josh Tomlin on Tuesday and Thursday Trevor Bauer.

Bauer had allowed 10 runs in 10.2 innings over his first two starts but you could see was much better against the Twins overall.

He did balk in a run in the fourth inning when he stumbled on the mound with the bases loaded, then fell behind 2-0 when Jorge Polanco hit a sacrifice fly, but other than that, was very good.

He lasted 6.1 innings, allowing two runs, three hits and three walks, lowering his ERA from 8.44 to 6.35.

If nothing else from this series, Bauer and Tomlin’s outings on the mound are great additions to winning three games on the road against a divisional foe.
