After allowing a solo home run to Tyler Flowers in the fourth, Bauer surrendered only two more hits to the next 10 batters he faced before turning the game over to the bullpen after six strong innings. The Indians have won five of Bauer's past six starts.
Cleveland has now scored at least six runs in seven straight games, and its starters are 7-0 with a 2.05 ERA during the winning streak.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Lonnie Baseball: Chisenhall's home run marked his fourth of the season, all of which have come since May 31. Before then, the Cleveland right fielder was hitting .271 with seven extra-base hits and six RBIs. But over his past 23 games, Chisenhall is batting .321 with 10 extra-base hits and 15 RBIs, making him a valuable asset for the Indians with outfielder Michael Brantley still on the disabled list.
Gant exits: Braves right-hander John Gant left the game in the third inning with a left oblique strain. He allowed one run on three hits with two strikeouts in two-plus innings. With a 2-2 count on Bauer, a trainer and Braves manager Brian Snitker made a visit to the mound. After throwing a warmup pitch, Gant was removed from the game and replaced by Tyrell Jenkins.
