A week ago, the Indians had three All-Stars in Carlos Santana, Francisco Lindor and Brad Hand. A couple days later, Mike Minor had to be replaced on the roster and Shane Bieber was chosen as his replacement. Bieber ended up performing the best of the four tonight.
Despite being worried about the number of questions he was asking, Bieber didn’t show it when he entered the game. In the 5th inning, he faced Willson Contreras, Ketel Marte and Ronald Acuña and struck out all three of them. In a game where no batter had more than one hit, this was enough to make Biebs the MVP in his home park.
