The Cleveland Indians, who have lost two in a row, will turn to Trevor Bauer tonight to right the ship when they open a 3-game set at Progressive Field against the Texas Rangers. Bauer comes into tonight’s contest with a record of 2-2, a very respectable 2.41 ERA, and a 1.10 WHIP. The Rangers will send their veteran southpaw, Cole Hamels, to the hill. Time might be catching up with the once dominant lefty. Hamels is 1-4, with 4.41 ERA, a 1.38 WHIP, and he is 1-2 in his career against Cleveland with an inflated ERA of 6.11. Texas is 1-6 in their last 7 meetings with Cleveland and 1-4 in their last 5 visits to Progressive. The Indians feast on lefties, going 21-6 in their last 27. Hamels could be in trouble tonight.
