Trevor Bauer (7.1 INN/4 H/1 ER/10 SO/3 BB) certainly did a capable job in following up Corey Kluber’s masterpiece. The Indians pitching in this series is what made them a trendy World Series contender. The Indians pitching staff gave up a total of six earned runs in the series, which in many cases means that you’re well off.
And now the bad.
But as it so often is the case with this drowning Indians team, if one thing is working, the other two components–offense and bullpen–likely aren’t. Michael Brantley supplied the single tally, his fourth homer deposited into the right-field bleachers.
