EDGE Analysis

Bauer surprisingly got seven runs of support in the first three innings against Boston ace Chris Sale in what ended as a 13-6 victory. The righty took a step back after five consecutive quality starts, but still improved his record since July 21 to 6-0. Bauer's coming alive at the right time for a Cleveland team looking to pull away in the AL Central race, but will have a tough matchup next time out Tuesday at Yankee Stadium.
