CLEVELAND (AP) — The Indians bullpen wasted a gem from Trevor Bauer in a 7-4 loss to the Reds.
Joey Votto hit a go-ahead three-run double during a seven-run ninth inning.
Indians closer Cody Allen allowed six runs with two outs in the ninth, the last three charged on Votto’s sharp hit to right off Dan Otero.
Cleveland’s bullpen entered Tuesday with a 5.13 ERA, better only than the Rockies and Royals.
Indians right fielder Lonnie Chisenhall will miss 8 to 10 weeks with a strained left calf muscle.
Cleveland also placed right-hander Josh Tomlin — its longest-tenured player in his ninth season — on the DL with a strained right hamstring.
