From Rotoworld: Bauer struck out nine across seven innings of one-run ball but settled for a no-decision in Tuesday’s extra-innings loss to the Rockies. The light-hitting Alexi Amarista managed to go deep off of Bauer in the third inning, but that’s all the Rockies were able to put together off the right-hander. For just the third time this season, Bauer issued no walks in the game. He’s been superb his last three times out, allowing just one run in each outing while collecting a 22/3 K/BB ratio over 22 innings. Bauer takes on the Red Sox and Royals on the road next week.
Fister gave up three earned runs over 6 1/3 innings Sunday in a win over the White Sox. Fister allowed eight hits, but he struck out seven batters while issuing zero walks and Boston’s offense backed him with six runs in the afternoon victory at Fenway Park. Fister has a 5.03 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in 39 1/3 innings (six starts, three relief appearances) this season.
