Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Shane Bieber went from All-Star Game injury replacement to Most Valuable Player in a span of five days.
Bieber took the spot of Texas' Mike Minor on the American League roster and was called upon to pitch the fifth inning in Tuesday's game by AL manager Alex Cora.
The right-handed pitcher struck out the side in front of his home crowd at Progressive Field, and because of his efforts on the mound, he won MVP in the 4-3 AL victory. The victory extended the AL's winning streak to seven games.
Bieber struck out Willson Contreras, Ketel Marte and Ronald Acuna Jr.
