CLEVELAND -- The last time the baseball world caught a glimpse of Trevor Bauers mangled pinkie finger on his right hand, it was grotesquely dripping blood onto the pitching rubber in Toronto during the AL Championship Series.Unlike most horror movies, however, Bauer has no plans for a sequel.The Cleveland Indians pitcher is confident the mound will be blood free when he starts Game 2 of the World Series on Wednesday night against the Chicago Cubs. Bauer tested the finger -- notoriously hurt while he was tinkering with a drone -- during a simulated game on Monday. He wore gauze over the finger -- a no-no during an actual game -- just to see if it could withstand the pressure placed on it when Bauer grips the ball and lets it rip.When Bauer unwrapped the finger after throwing about 20 pitches, he exhaled.We took it off and it was completely white, so it was a non-issue, Bauer said.That was hardly the case in Game 3 of the ALCS, when Bauer lasted all of two outs and 21 pitches, the still fresh wound ripping open and caking Bauers jersey, pants and portions of the mound in blood. The Indians won anyway, relying on six relievers to get the final 25 outs in a 4-2 victory. Bauer is confident hell be able to carry more of a workload this time around against Chicagos Jake Arrieta.Im prepared, said Bauer, who went 12-8 with a 4.26 ERA in the regular season. Im going to go out there and execute to the best level of my ability, and its going to be what its going to be.Arrieta showed his remarkable run to the 2015 Cy Young was no fluke, though the dominance that came to him so easily last season was much more difficult to come by this summer. Arrieta went 18-8 with a 3.10 ERA in 2016, though he struggled at times down the stretch, posting a 5.01 ERA in his final four regular season starts. Hes been OK if hardly spectacular in the playoffs, getting a no-decision in Game 3 of the Division Series against San Francisco and surrendering four runs in five innings of a Game 3 loss to the Dodgers in the NLCS.Arrietas focus will be trying to keep Clevelands running game in check. The Indians led the American League with 143 stolen bases. Opponents were safe on 23 of 26 stolen base attempts against Arrieta during the season and manager Joe Maddon is considering using Willson Contreras at catcher instead of Miguel Montero, who typically catches for Arrieta.They do run, and Willson is one of the best young throwers in the game right now, Maddon said. You have to balance out how comfortable you think Jakes going to be throwing to him versus Miggy.Contreras threw out 13 of 35 attempted base stealers during the regular season, compared to just 7 of 66 by Montero.At the end of the day, they are good as baserunners and we are good at preventing that when everything is in place, Maddon said. So we are considering that right now. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Donnie-Jones-Jersey/ .

PHOENIX -- Christian Friedrich had a chance to work out of trouble after allowing a run and two more runners in the third inning.Instead of escaping, he served up a pitch that Ricky Weeks Jr. launched over the wall in center for a three-run homer.It was the worst pitch at the wrong time, Friedrich said after the San Diego Padres lost 7-5 to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night.Weeks homer got the Diamondbacks started on a night when 14,110 fans showed up, the smallest crowd in Chase Fields 18-year history.Paul Goldschmidt had an RBI single and a sacrifice fly after being named to his fourth straight NL All-Star team. Jean Segura sparked Arizonas lineup from the leadoff spot, finishing with three hits, three runs and an RBI.Zack Godley (2-0) worked around trouble through five innings and so did Brad Ziegler in the ninth, giving up a leadoff homer to Brad Schimpf and two more hits before striking out Matt Kemp to close out his 18th save.The Diamondbacks had three triples to match a team record and twice scored in the bottom half of an inning after San Diego scored in the top half to win for the second time in 10 games.We appreciate the people who were here. I thought we played well, Arizona manager Chip Hale said. The guys didnt let down because it wasnt a big crowd with a lot of emotion. They created their own emotion in the dugout. Thats baseball.San Diegos Wil Myers had a run-scoring triple among his four hits and drove in a run after being named to his first NL All-Star team before the game. The Padres out-hit Arizona 12-10, but stranded seven runners and couldnt overcome Friedrichs shaky start.Its kind of what its been like the last few times out, Padres manager Andy Green said. He has some crisp innings and then gets into trouble. He misses some pitches and they take advantage of that.Godley made one start and five relief appearances during his first stint with the Diamondbacks and was called up from Triple-A Reno to start against the Padres.The right-hander caused himself some problems when he started the third inning by walking Friedrich. Myers drove him in with a run-scoring triple and later scored on Yangervis Solartes run-scoring single that put the Padres up 2-0.Godley ran into more trouble in tthe fifth, when Kemp and Alex Dickerson hit run-scoring doubles to tie the game at 4.ddddddddddddGodley allowed four runs and eight hits in five innings. He was sent back to Reno after the game and left-hander Zac Curtis was recalled.A lot of mis-hit balls off him, Hale said. His ball moves a lot. If he can get that with the location, down in the zone a little more, hes going to be something.Friedrich (4-4) entered Tuesdays game 2-0 with a 1.17 ERA in 15 career appearances against Arizona.The left-hander did not have the same effectiveness this time, allowing one more run (4) in the third inning than he had the previous 25 combined. Goldschmidt drove in the first with a run-scoring single and Weeks followed with his three-run homer to center.Crooked numbers are hard to get rid of right now, said Friedrich, who gave up five runs, six hits and struck out five in five innings.LAMB ROARINGJake Lamb entered the game as a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning and fell behind in the count. Players on Arizonas bench said he should take a protective swing with two strikes.Hale knew better and Lamb proved him right, hitting a triple to the corner in right before scoring on Seguras RBI single.They said it when he got two strikes, just put it in play. I said `Hes going to get extra bases, theres no doubt about it, Hale said. Hes just a machine right now.Thats for sure. Lamb has an extra-base hit in seven straight games, longest by an Arizona player since Goldschmidt did it in eight straight games from July 2-9, 2009. Lamb has seven triples to match team record before the All-Star Break, previously set three times.TRAINING ROOMPadres: RHP Tyson Ross (shoulder) is expected to throw his final extended bullpen on Wednesday.Diamondbacks: CF A.J.
