Shane Bieber could be down to a handful of starts with the Guardians. If so, he's going to make the most of them.
If so, he's going to make the most of them.
Bieber looked more like the 2020 Cy Young Award version of himself than the one who rarely overpowers hitters anymore. “So that was my one focus and I was able to feel that and fall into a rhythm. And that’s kind of that feeling that is easy to fall in love with. My focus is on my teammates right now and my family and going out there and giving my best each and every day.”Giménez staked Bieber to a 2-0 lead with his second-inning homer off Brandon Bielak and Bell added a solo shot in the fourth as the surging Guardians took a series from Houston for the first time since 2017.
Astros manager Dusty Baker has seen Bieber dominate before and said his slider is especially devastating on young hitters. Bell made it 3-0 in the fourth with his fifth homer, a 426-foot drive into the bullpens in center field.Manager Terry Francona said Giménez felt a cramp while running out a fly to center in the fourth, and the trainers felt it best to pull him. The team is off Monday, and there's hope some added rest will allow him to play Tuesday.Cleveland's offensive struggles seem to be in the rearview mirror — for now.
