Guardians Improve to 22-17 with 5-0 Win
Shane Bieber never let Kansas City get something going. The Cleveland right-hander commanded his fastball in pitching the Guardians to a 5-0 win. Cleveland occupies first place in the American League Central Division at 22-17.

Kyle Manzardo had a big 3-run home run for the Guardians in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Cleveland leading 2-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he sized up a changeup from 25-year old right-handed pitcher Zach Cawyer and punished it. The result was his 6th home run of the season, which put the Guardians on top, 5-0.

"I tried to mix it up, keep them off balance," said Bieber.
