Indians erase early deficit, come back to beat Angels 5-4

Trevor Bauer ran into some of the home run troubles that plagued him last season, but the Indians came back from a three-run deficit to beat the Los Angeles Angels 5-4 Sunday afternoon and complete a four-game sweep.

The Angels (49-68) twice sent Bauer pitches out of the ballpark in the first four innings to build a 4-1 lead. But against Angels starter Jered Weaver, the Indians twice loaded the bases and twice came away with two-run innings to retake the lead.

In the fifth, the Indians loaded the bases with nobody out, but Carlos Santana and Jason Kipnis—who in the first inning hit a solo home run—each failed to get a run home.
