Bauer Makes His Return as Indians Fall to Red Sox 7-5 at Progressive Field; Three Takeaways

1. The Return of the All-Star

Trevor Bauer was back on the mound for the Indians, and while there might have been some nerves for Tribe fans about how Bauer was going to do, he looked just fine in his first start since August 11th.

Bauer threw 34 pitches in going 1.1 innings, allowing two hits with a walk and strikeout. He’ll get another start on Tuesday against the White Sox, and then will pitch in the finale on Sunday in Kansas City against the Royals.

The thought is that Bauer will pitch in game three of the ALDS at home against the Astros, and it will be interesting to see how much more he gets to throw in the next two starts before that critical playoff game.
