Bauer pitches shutout as Indians beat Tigers 8-0
Monday, June 17, 2019

(DETROIT) – Trevor Bauer has accomplished a lot of things in his career, but there was one box he wasn't able to check off until Sunday in Detroit. Bauer pitched his first shutout as a pro, and ended the longest winless streak of his career as the Cleveland Indians beat the Tigers 8-0 Sunday for a three-game sweep. Bauer (5-6) gave up four hits, struck out eight and walked none. The 28 year old righty had been 0-5 in his previous eight starts before dominating the Tigers in his third career complete game. The Tigers have lost 17 of 19 at home. Detroit manager Ron Gardenhire met with his players after the game, and made it clear he wasn't happy with their lethargic play on Sunday. Spencer Turnbull (3-6) allowed a season high six earned runs on 10 hits and two walks in five innings of work. Rookie Oscar Mercado drove in four runs and Jason Kipnis homered and drove in three. The Indians are 18-7 against Detroit since the beginning of last season and outscored them 25-6 in this set at Comerica Park. Detroit is 7-22 overall since May 13.
