Cleveland Blanks White Sox

As heard on WHOW, Shane Bieber pitched three-hit ball over nine innings for Cleveland while Lucas Giolito nearly matched him before the Indians broke through in the 10th to beat the Chicago White Sox 2-0 on Tuesday night.

 

Bieber (1-1) struck out 11 and has fanned 35 in his first three starts of the season for the second straight year. Nolan Ryan set the record with 37 in 1973 and Gerrit Cole had 36 in 2018.

 

Giolito also allowed only three hits and fanned eight. He was pulled after issuing his second walk to begin the eighth inning. Bieber walked one.

 

Garrett Crochet (0-2) came on in the 10th for Chicago and catcher Yasmani Grandal interfered with Josh Naylor leading off, putting runners on the corners.

 

After pinch-hitter Yu Chang flied out, Roberto Perez drove in a run with an RBI single. Pinch-hitter Amed Rosario added an RBI double.

 

James Karinchak worked the 10th for his first save, retiring Jake Lamb on a game-ending fly to the right-field warning track.

 

Eddie Rosario had two of Cleveland's three hits against Giolito - a double in the second and an infield single in the fourth.

 

The four-game series continues with LHP Carlos Rodon (1-0, 0.00 ERA) pitching for Chicago after being scratched from Monday's start because of an upset stomach and RHP Zach Plesac (1-1, 1.38) getting the ball for Cleveland. With Rodon ill, Dallas Keuchel pitched into the sixth inning Monday after having his turn moved up two days.
