Shane Bieber continued his mastery over Royals hitters by allowing just one run over eight innings in a 4-1 Royals loss on Tuesday evening. Including his Opening Day start against Kansas City, Bieber has allowed just one run in 12 2⁄3 innings with 11 strikeouts and just 1 walk in his two Kauffman Stadium starts, with Royals hitters batting just 6-for-44 (.136) against him.
Kris Bubic went for the Royals, and the lefty pitched well enough to win, lasting six innings for the second start in a row. The Guardians got to him for a pair of runs in the third when he let the bottom of the order get to him.
