Adbert Alzolay tosses six strong innings, but homers bite him in Cubs’ loss to the Indians

CLEVELAND — It looks like right-hander Adbert Alzolay is getting comfortable pitching in the big leagues, and the results are starting to back that up.

There are going to be some ups and downs for Alzolay in his first full season, but so far, he’s been able to improve on each of his outings.

Matched up against some of baseball’s best arms recently, including the Dodgers’ Walker Buehler in his previous start, Alzolay took the mound Tuesday against reigning AL Cy Young winner Shane Bieber.

Getting opportunities to face some of the game’s best isn’t something the Cubs’ young right-hander takes for granted.
