Game three of the series with the Yankees was set to be another pitcher’s duel. On April 13, 2021 Bieber had faced White Sox ace Lucas Giolito in a battle of American League aces. The Tribe’s offense provided two runs in that game which proved enough for a win.
Saturday night Bieber was in another highly anticipated matchup with Yankee’s ace Gerrit Cole. This time Bieber found himself with the loss as he gave up two solo shots. The Indians could only muster one run.
Shane Bieber pitched seven innings allowing just two runs on four hits while recording nine strikeouts.
