DETROIT -- There was a moment Wednesday when it looked like the Tigers might break through against Trevor Bauer, and the Indians might need to get their laboring bullpen loose. Bauer took matters into his own hands and made sure the threat was fleeting.
With two runners aboard in the sixth, Bauer fired a backdoor two-seamer to Pete Kozma, who watched the pitch pop into catcher Roberto Perez's glove over the outside corner for an inning-ending strikeout. Bauer continued to cruise from there, leading Cleveland to a 6-0 victory in the finale of the three-game set at Comerica Park.
