CHICAGO -- Trevor Bauer's outing ended much smoother than it began. The right-hander walked five in the first two innings, but persisted through seven as Ryan Raburn socked a pair of solo homers in the Tribe's 3-2 win in the Windy City. Here is what Bauer, Raburn and manager Terry Francona had to say after Monday's matinee.
Francona, on Bauer's outing, in which he walked four batters in the second inning -- including the first three on 12 pitches -- before settling in to limit Chicago to two runs on two hits over seven frames:
"If you would've told me in the second inning that [five] innings later we'd be patting him on the back saying, 'Way to go' -- that's not exactly how you draw it up.
