Guardians’ Tanner Bibee Makes History With Strong Performance Against Braves

On Saturday night, the Cleveland Guardians evened their three-game series against the Atlanta Braves with a 4-2 win in 11 innings.

In a pitchers’ duel, both teams were scoreless through the game’s first seven frames.

For Atlanta, this was because of Cleveland’s starting pitcher, who had a remarkable performance.

Guardians RHP Tanner Bibee (ND) recorded his first quality start of the season, and one of the best starts of his young career. The right-hander pitched a season-high seven scoreless innings, allowing career-bests of two hits and no walks (both tied), while tying his career-high of nine strikeouts in 91 pitches (60 strikes).
