EDGE Analysis

Neither Indians' starter had lasted longer than the fourth inning during the first two games of the four-game homestand, and their pitching woes continued Wednesday, as the hot-hitting Twins worked Bauer for 80 pitches (45 strikes) before the right-hander was removed with two outs in the third innings after a missed-call in right field by the first base umpire -- and the replay advisors in New York -- allowed two runs to score. The 25-year-old has now allowed 22 earned runs over his last 24 innings, inflating his ERA to 4.08 on the season.
