Saturday's MLB slate starts with an intriguing matchup as the Cleveland Guardians and Tampa Bay Rays continue their series at Tropicana Field.
In Friday's series opener, Shane Bieber was outstanding, allowing one run and striking out eight in seven innings as Cleveland recorded a 4-1 win over Tampa Bay.
Bieber is one of five Cleveland pitchers who have won the AL Cy Young Award, having done so in 2020. The other active member of that group will be taking the mound for the Rays in this matchup, as Corey Kluber gets the start opposite Zach Plesac for the Guardians.
