Bieber Bombed: Grand Slam, 7 Runs Allowed
5 Jul
Summary
- Shane Bieber allowed seven runs against the Mariners.
- Randy Arozarena hit a grand slam off Bieber.
- Bieber gave up six homers in 13 innings pitched.
Shane Bieber experienced a difficult outing on Saturday against the Mariners, where he was tagged for seven runs over four-plus innings. In the second inning, Bieber gave up a grand slam to Randy Arozarena, his first career grand slam allowed in 33 bases-loaded plate appearances. He also allowed a two-run homer in the fifth inning before being removed from the game after 89 pitches.
Bieber's fastball velocity averaged 91.9 mph, consistent with his earlier starts. However, he has already allowed six home runs within his first 13 innings pitched this season. While his ability to hit the corners may improve with more regular starts, his current performance indicates he might not be suitable for mixed fantasy leagues. His next scheduled start is expected to be on Friday in San Diego.
