CLEVELAND, Ohio It took Shane Bieber a career-high 121 pitches, but he got his eight strikeouts and a win over the Cubs on Tuesday night at Progressive Field.
Chicago peppered Bieber with nine hits while sending 30 batters to the plate against the AL Cy Young winner in 6 2/3 innings. They drew three walks and had leads of 1-0 and 2-1. But Team Extreme would not let Bieber down.
The Indians, who started the night hitting .210 with the fewest hits in the AL, tied the score on a Jose Ramirez homer in the fourth. Cesar Hernandez’s two-run homer in the fifth made Bieber and the Indians a 3-2 winner.
