    Needing a home run for the cycle, Jake Bauers had a conversation with teammate Shane Bieber before heading to the plate in the eighth inning.

    "I told him, `I don't know man, I think I'm just going to try and stay left-center, hit a base hit where the shortstop should be," Bauers said. "He's like, `Dude, you've got to try and hit a homer."

    Bauers connected for a two-run shot that easily cleared the wall in right field, becoming the first Cleveland player to hit for the cycle since 2016. The Indians, who scored eight runs in the fourth inning, routed the Detroit Tigers 13-4 on Friday night.
