Bieber Throws Five No-Hit Innings, Johnson Hits Grand Slam as Indians Pound Rockies 9-3

The strong spring for Indians starter Shane Bieber continued on Thursday afternoon, as the Tribe completed a 2019 Cactus League sweep (3 games) of the Colorado Rockies, winning 9-3 at Goodyear Ballpark.

Bieber threw five no-hit innings (5.0IP, 2BB, 8SO) and has allowed just one run over his four starts (2-1, 0.64 ERA, 14.0IP, 3H, 2BB, 17SO).

The offense got two big blows, a two-run blast from catcher Roberto Perez (1-for-3, HR two RBI) and a grand slam from Daniel Johnson, who put the Indians up 9-0 in the 6th.

Johnson, who was acquired this offseason from the Nationals, is tied for the team lead in RBI (9) and has five extra-base hits (2 2B, 3B, 2HR).
