Cleveland's Trevor Bauer tallies a career-high 14 strikeouts in Tuesday's win

Cleveland Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer allowed three runs while posting a career-high 14 strikeouts over seven innings in a 9-4 win over the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday.

What It Means:

All three of those runs, as well as six of the seven hits and the only walk he allowed, came in the first four innings of this one, after which he fanned 9 of the 10 batters he faced.

While his 6.00 ERA isn't pretty, Bauer has an excellent 3.22 SIERA and a 29.9 percent strikeout rate through 10 starts (57 innings pitched) in 2017.
