Bauer is back for the 8th, although he's thrown 109 pitches. Maybe this constitutes a tryout as a late inning reliever.

Revere and Mr. Everything Trout show how to take advantage of a tiring pitcher: 3 pitches yield 2 swings and 2 outs.

And Trevor the setup man takes care of Pujols to hold his own 2-1 lead in the middle of 8.

Time for another of those 7 run innings to take off the pressure and let Bauer save it for himself. Wait, he won't qualify for a save if he's up by 8. Well, that's OK.

nothing happens; we go to the 9th up by one.

Allen coming in to face: Calhoun [13 home runs] Simmons [300 average and 11 homers] and then the biggest test: Luis Valbuena, hasn't homered today but did double off Bauer.

Cody's still failed on only 1 save opportunity this year although he's registered 5 losses.

Calhoun down on a called 3rd strike. That's one.

Simmons out on a fly to Brantley [since I'm following on my phone idea if it was an easy pop or a drive to the wall]

Now it's Power against Power: Allen v. Valbuena

Well it was briefly: Luis down on strikes and that makes 7 in a row.

Royals off today so the lead is 2 games. And the Indians hold onto to 2nd best record in the AL, but a 1/2 game now over the RedSox.

Sweep!

Right after hitting the liner to RF Frankie immediately shot his head around and yelled something at the Angels catcher. I gotta know what that was! It was not friendly...

Andre Knott about to interview Lindor on post game show.

So in the last 7 days the Royals are 6-0 and actually lost a half game in standings to Tribe... tee hee hee

Andre didn't ask Frankie what he yelled. What crap.

@DreKnott How do you not ask Frankie what he screamed at catcher during postgame interview?? It's driving me crazy.

There is an integrity to my job n if he doesn't want to discuss it we aren't gonna discuss it.

So Frankie didn't want to talk about it. Too bad. Would love to know.
