Trevor Bauer was completely tremendous in his start today. He yielded just 2 hits, no walks, and nary a run in his 7.2 IP, in the process striking out 12 Atlanta batsmen in a dominant outing. If it was the final time we see him don a Cincinnati Reds uniform between the chalk, it was a hell of a way to sign off.
If it was not the final time we see him don a Cincinnati Reds uniform this season, well, his outing today will be one of the single largest reasons why they move on.
If the ESPN broadcast is to be believed, he became the first pitcher in MLB postseason history to log at least 12 Ks with no walks and no runs allowed, and that’s the kind of history you want your name etched into.
