Bauer’s Big Strikeout Outing Against Reds Puts Him in Rare Indians Company

CLEVELAND – Indians starter Trevor Bauer is having a ‘lights out’ year to say the least, and on Tuesday his huge season in terms of strikeouts earned him a rather huge honor.

With his 7th strikeout of the night, which came in the 5th inning against Reds All-Star Eugenio Suarez, Bauer became just the third Indians pitcher in history to rack up 160 strikeouts before the All-Star break.

The feat has only been accomplished by two other Indians pitchers, and they are pitchers who names Indians fans should know all too well – Bob Feller and Sam McDowell.
