Trevor Bauer

Reds starter Trevor Bauer tossed 7 2/3 scoreless innings on two hits and no walks while striking out 12 in a no-decision against the Atlanta Braves in Game 1 of the Wild Card Round Wednesday. The Braves went on to win the game 1-0 in extra innings.

Fantasy Impact

Bauer was brilliant on Wednesday, but he was matched on the other side of Max Friend, who threw seven scoreless innings of his own. Bauer is among the favorites for the NL Cy Young award this season, and he showed why on Wednesday even if he didn't come away with the win.

Reds manager David Bell says Trevor Bauer will pitch Game 1 of the Wild Card Round.

Fantasy Impact

He'll be followed in the rotation by Luis Castillo and Sonny Gray (if needed). Bauer has a good chance at taking home National League Cy Young honors this year. In 73 innings he has put up a 1.73 ERA with a 0.79 WHIP and 100 strikeouts.

Trevor Bauer (5-4) allowed one run on four hits and one walk while striking out 12 over eight innings in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Brewers. He earned his fifth win of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Bauer on short rest dominated the Brewers Wednesday, striking out 12 for his fifth double-digit strikeout outing this season. He threw a total of 104 pitches, landing 69 for strikes. Bauer is a candidate for the CY Young in 2020, owning a 1.73 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 100 strikeouts over 73 innings in 2020.

Trevor Bauer (4-4) allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five over seven innings in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the White Sox. He picked up his fourth loss of the year.

Fantasy Impact

Bauer's two runs allowed came via the long ball as he yielded solo homers to Nomar Mazara and Tim Anderson. He has now posted quality starts in his last four outings. Bauer owns a 1.80 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 88 strikeouts over 65 innings in 2020. The 29-year-old will look to make it five quality starts in a row in Friday's matchup against the Twins.

Trevor Bauer allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out 12 over 6 1/3 innings in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against the Pirates. He didn't factor into the decision.
