Trevor Bauer is spending another season in Japan with the NPB. He agreed to a deal with the DeNa BayStars back in January, making this his second stint with the club. He has had great success in Japan, being selected for the NPB All-Star team back in 2023. Later that year, he was named the June MVP, and he was looking to bring back that dominance. However, when the BayStars faced off against the Yomiuri Giants on Wednesday, Bauer struggled. He let up two monster home runs to Kazuma Okamoto, who Atlanta Braves legend Chipper Jones backs as a top 20 hitter. They were not small shots, either. The home runs were no-doubters that were sent deep, deep into the stands to help his club pull further away from the BayStars. For the BayStars, they struggled to get anything going on Wednesday, both offensively and defensively. They failed to score a run, getting shut out by a score of 5-0. The win gives the Giants an 8-7 record, which is good for third place in the Central League. The loss dropped the BayStars to 5-7, putting them in last place in the Central League.
