Idle against lefty
Bauers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
Analysis
After starting in each of the last five games, the left-handed-hitting Bauers will take a seat while the Phillies send southpaw Cristopher Sanchez to the rubber in the series finale. Andrew Vaughn will get the starting nod at first base and will bat second.

Clubs 13th homer
Bauers went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Friday's 6-0 victory over the Phillies.
Analysis
After striking out in all four of his plate appearances Wednesday in Sacramento, Bauers got back on track in Friday's series opener with his career-high 13th long ball of the season in the fifth inning to give Milwaukee a 5-0 lead. The 30-year-old also has 46 RBI and 40 runs scored with a .905 OPS in 234 plate appearances as he continues a breakout campaign.

Launches 12th homer in win
Bauers went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Monday's 15-14 extra-innings win over the Athletics.
Analysis
Bauers drove in the first run of Monday's offensive slugfest with an RBI single in the first inning. He'd later contribute in a louder fashion, uncorking a 457-foot, two-run homer in the seventh inning to help chip away at Milwaukee's deficit. Bauers has been nothing short of spectacular through 56 games this season, slashing .286/.381/.531 with 12 homers, 12 doubles, 43 RBI, 38 runs and five stolen bases.
