Trevor Bauer picks up victory in debut with Yokohama
YOKOHAMA, Japan -- After cheerleaders welcomed him and after receiving the largest ovation of any Yokohama player at the start of the game, Trevor Bauer delivered what was expected Wednesday in his debut with the Yokohama DeNA Baystars.
Pitching his first game in just over 22 months -- the last was with the Los Angeles Dodgers -- Bauer scattered seven hits in seven innings, allowed one run, struck out nine and threw 98 pitches in a 4-1 victory against the Hiroshima Toyo Carp before a crowd of 33,202, which the team said was a record.
The highlight might have been Bauer's batting.
