Perfect in no-decision in return Bieber didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 1-0 loss to the White Sox, tossing three perfect innings and striking out three. Impact Cleveland didn't push its ace too hard in his first start since June 13 as he made his return from a shoulder issue, but Bieber was absolutely brilliant through 34 pitches (22 strikes). If the club sticks with a seven-man rotation over the final days of a lost season, the right-hander will carry a 3.17 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 133:33 K:BB through 93.2 innings into his final appearance of 2021, next week on the road against the Rangers.
