Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer had his fourth consecutive strong outing at Safeco Field on Friday night. Bauer went seven innings and struck out 10 while walking three batters and scattering six hits. Unfortunately, one of those hits was a homer off the bat of Mariners DH Seth Smith, with Nelson Cruz on base. The sixth-inning homer gave the Mariners a 2-0 lead.
Bauer was ultimately tagged with the loss. In his last four starts, Bauer has given up two runs once and one run three times.
