CLEVELAND -- The next chapter of the Shane Bieber story will be written Tuesday night at Progressive Field, in the second contest of a three-game series, when he takes the mound for the Cleveland Indians against the red-hot Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Pirates won the first game of the series Monday night, 7-0, to extend their winning streak to 10 games.
Bieber is the Indians' 23-year-old right-hander who started the 2017 season at low Class-A Lake County and a year later is the surprise member of the Indians' major league starting rotation.
The rapid ascension of Bieber to the majors is partly a case of being in the right place at the right time.
