Shane Bieber would take the hill Friday for the Cleveland Indians against the Minnesota Twins. Looking to snap the club’s three game losing streak, Bieber surrendered three, but kept things close. However, the offense struggled once again, only scoring one run as the Indians lost 3-1.
Francisco Lindor took over the lead-off spot for the Indians for the first time this year. However, the Indians offensive struggles continued to open the game, with a José Ramirez single being the lone offense in the opening frame.
Bieber would start strong on the mound in the bottom of the first, forcing Jorge Polanco and Josh Donaldson to ground out for the first two outs.
