An estimated 1.3 million people made it into Cleveland on Wednesday. It’s possible none want to leave the city as much as the Tampa Bay Rays’ hitters.
Trevor Bauer kept them guessing all night and tossed a complete game in the Indians’ 6-1 win against the Rays Wednesday. It followed Corey Kluber’s complete-game shutout in Tuesday’s 6-0 victory.
Bauer allowed one run on just three hits—the same number of hits allowed in Kluber’s start—and struck out 10. It was his second career complete game and his sixth straight quality start, the longest stretch of his career.
Indians (41-30) manager Terry Francona has often referred to “consistency” as one of more important words in baseball.
