4 years agoCleveland Indians starting pitcher Shane Bieber (7-1) allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out eight across seven innings but was handed his first loss of the season Friday against the Twins. Bieber came into Friday's matchup with a 2-0 record and 1.20 ERA against the Twins this season but was not able to contain them as effectively his third time out. Bieber still leads all of major league baseball with nine quality starts, 102 strikeouts and a 1.53 ERA as he has cemented himself as one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball. He'll line up to face the Tigers on the road Thursday. He's the front runner for the Cy Young award -- he's an obvious must start in all league formats against Detroit.--James Stokke
