The stage was set for a much-anticipated pitching matchup for game two of the Tribe’s series with the White Sox. Shane Bieber was on the bump for the Indians while Lucas Giolito took the hill for the Sox.
These two pitchers did not disappoint as they battled in an epic showdown. It’s only April but the game had a playoff feel to it as the innings carried on without a run scored.
Bieber had said in the offseason he worked to pitch deeper into games, and he succeeded. He pitched nine innings allowing zero runs while recording 11 strikeouts.
