Indians sending Bauer to mound with Series title in reach (Yahoo Sports)

Trevor Bauer can fly the Indians to a championship. The eccentric right-hander, who cut his right pinkie while repairing a drone and almost ruined his team's postseason chances, will start Game 5 on Sunday as Cleveland tries to win its first World Series title since 1948. Manager Terry Francona had other options like Danny Salazar or rookie left-hander Ryan Merritt, who started the Indians' AL pennant-clinching win over the Toronto Blue Jays.
