TORONTO -- Getting less than two innings out of their starter, the Indians relied heavily on their bullpen to get them through the series finale at Rogers Centre on Wednesday -- a 5-1 loss to the Blue Jays.
Cleveland used six relievers after Trevor Bauer was lifted from the game after only 1 1/3 innings. The right-hander allowed five earned runs on six hits in what was his shortest outing of the season. It marked the second time in four starts he's been unable to pitch at least two innings.
"I thought even warming up he had his fastball up, and when he got in the game, he couldn't drive it down, and that was certainly the game plan against these guys," Indians manager Terry Francona said.
