Shane Bieber News: Saddled with second loss

Bieber (3-2) conceded two runs on four hits and one walk over 6.1 innings to take the loss Saturday against Kansas City. He struck out four.

The Toronto right-hander picked up his second consecutive quality start, as both runs he yielded came on back-to-back solo homers by Bobby Witt and Vinnie Pasquantino in the fourth inning. The one-time Cy Young Award winner has been splendid in his 35.1 total innings, pitching to a 3.57 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 34:5 K:BB. Bieber is tentatively slated to make his final start of the season at home against the Red Sox next week; however, that could change if the Blue Jays shuffle around their rotation in preparation for the playoffs.
