Bieber strikes out 13, ties record as Cleveland tops the Twins. MORE:
Jorge Polanco“He’s had two starts so far this season,” Donaldson said. “I’m not trying to give him the Cy Young just now. But in those two starts he’s had elite command."“It was very fun to catch,” Sandy León said. “Any pitch, any count. When you have a guy like that on the mound, it's really fun to have a game plan.”
The major league record for strikeouts in two consecutive games is 33 by the Cubs' Kerry Wood in 1998. Bieber surpassed Nolan Ryan's AL record for the most in a pitcher's first two starts of a season.The 25-year-old Bieber was a first-time All-Star last year, his second season, when he finished 15-8 with a 3.28 ERA and 259 strikeouts in 214 1/3 innings.
Spooner, the man whose record Bieber tied, never matched the promise of his 1954 debut, when he threw two shutouts in the final week of the season. He returned in 1955 but was plagued by arm troubles and retired at the end of the year with a career record of 10-6.Minnesota committed its first error of the season on a wild throw by first baseman Sanó in the sixth inning. The Twins came into the game as the only team in the majors without an error.
Twins: RHP Randy Dobnak will make his seventh career start after debuting last season. Dobnak was tagged with a loss in his season debut after allowing one run in four innings against the White Sox.
