Shane Bieber called up, gets win Sunday

Shane Bieber was called up Sunday to pitch the series finale against the Twins, getting his first MLB win. He pitched 5 2/3 innings of one-ball, just missing the quality start. He did not limit contact, as he gave up ten hits, which included four doubles. However, he was able to work out of most of his jams by striking out seven hitters. The Indians won, 4-1.

Fantasy Impact:

Bieber has displayed tremendous control in the minors, and he threw 61 of his 89 pitches for strikes today. With Carlos Carrasco on the DL with an elbow contusion, Bieber should get at least two more starts going forward. The first of those will be against the Tigers at home.
