It was one of the most anticipated debuts in recent Toronto Blue Jays memory. Former Cy Young award winner Shane Bieber finally got to put on a Toronto uniform and toe the rubber for the Blue Jays on Friday night in Miami. The 30 year-old cruised through the Marlins lineup in a debut that could not have gone any better.
Bieber went six innings, allowed just two hits, including a solo home run, with nine strikeouts and no walks, as the Blue Jays topped the Marlins 5-2. Right from the get-go Bieber looked like he hadn't missed a step, despite it being nearly 500 days since his last outing at the MLB level.
