CLEVELAND (AP) — Tim Anderson chased Trevor Bauer after the All-Star tweeted a playful message to him earlier in the day and the Chicago White Sox routed the Indians 9-1 to stop a three-game losing streak.
Bauer matched career highs by allowing eight runs and seven earned runs in five-plus innings.
Bauer had tweeted to Anderson: “I’m all in on the bat flips man but if you could skip a day today that would be great.”
Yoán Moncada had a two-run homer and four RBIs for Chicago.
