Trevor Bauer pitched on three days rest after getting the go-ahead by David Bell. This is apparently something the iconoclastic pitcher has been lobbying to do his entire career.
“I like pitching,” Bauer said. “Why waste a day in between times pitching? I can do it. All my data says that I can do it. I feel better on four days than I do on five. Feel better on five than I do on six. Better on six than I feel on seven. I can do it. I’m probably going to be better on short rest than I am on normal rest, so why not?
