A lot of Indians onlookers as of late have been calling for the team to send outfielder/first basemen Jake Bauers to the minors to get more seasoning.
Friday night in Detroit, he showed those naysayers why he still belongs at the big league level – at least for now.
Bauers was at the forefront of a rare Indians power display, hitting for the cycle as the Tribe buried the Detroit Tigers 13-4 at Comerica Park in Detroit.
The Indians scored eight times in the fourth inning to completely break the game open, and rolled from there putting up 13 runs on 17 hits.
