The Indians are 8-4. For all the negativity and criticism around the club, plus injuries to star players, that record is plenty impressive. Small-sample, sure, but it sure beats the alternative!
The Tribe got that 8th win of the season Thursday afternoon, with a 4-0 win over Detroit.
Shane Bieber was excellent, putting up seven scoreless innings. He allowed just three hits and one walk, striking out six. The few jams that the right-hander found himself in were taken care of with relative ease.
Bieber pounded the strike zone a little less than normal, but really kept the ball down well and mixed in a new-and-improved changeup.
