Shane Bieber dazzled in his Toronto debut, six innings, 87 pitches, nine strikeouts and two hits allowed, with zero walks. He mixed a full five-pitch arsenal, logged 14 swings and misses, and even used a knuckle-curve for his first strikeout in Blue Jays pinstripes. The lone blemish was Javier Sanoja’s second-inning solo shot.

Post-Tommy John rehab, Bieber showed velocity upticks and command, following seven minor-league rehab starts. He was traded from Cleveland at the deadline, in exchange for Khal Stephen, as Toronto rides a 75-54 mark and a five-game AL East lead toward its first division title since 2015.
