Bieber struck out 7 batters and dominated Kansas City’s lineup across eight innings after Cleveland’s bullpen was taxed the previous two nights. The Guardians’ lineup, meanwhile, bunched together hits when it counted in a 4-1 victory against the Royals.
Cleveland Guardians vs. Kansas City Royals, Sept. 6, 2022KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Aces build their reputations on coming up big when their teams need them, and that’s what Shane Bieber did Tuesday for the Guardians at Kauffman Stadium.
Bieber limited the Royals to four hits, including a Salvador Perez solo home run in the fourth. He threw 99 pitches and walked only one KC hitter, but did not come out for the ninth, as manager Terry Francona turned to James Karinchak to finish the game. “He’s extremely intelligent about his craft,” Francona said. “I’ve thought that from the day he got here. But the more experience guys get, it shows. He pitched. He really pitched.”
Bieber’s win was the 50th of his career in his 105th start. His strikeout of MJ Melendez in the third was the 800th of his career in just his 665th inning. He is also undefeated in 12 career starts against the Royals, going 5-0 with a 3.12 ERA. Straw delivered an RBI base hit of his own in the seventh that stretched Cleveland’s lead to 3-1. It marked the first time Straw posted back-to-back multi-hit games since July 8-9 against the Royals. In the 45 games that followed, Straw has hit .185 with a .457 OPS in 151 at-bats. He says an adjustment in his stance has helped him pull pitches to the left side in this series.Francona praised Straw for not taking his ongoing struggles at the plate into the outfield with him.
