Bieber issued six walks and lasted only two-thirds of an inning as Toronto’s starter lost control in the series opener, officials said.
- On Tuesday night, Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Shane Bieber exited his start against the Washington Nationals after walking six batters in two-thirds of an inning.
- Manager John Schneider pulled Bieber after 42 pitches with only 15 strikes, following a sequence where the right-hander issued walks to six of nine batters, including three with bases loaded.
