Tanner Bibee struck out a career-high 12 batters on 93 pitches in an 8-0 win against Seattle.
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Watching Tanner Bibee dominate on the mound Wednesday reminded his manager, a former catcher, of what it is like to be behind the plate when an ace pitcher is in complete command of his arsenal. It’s a situation that is extremely rare, even in the major leagues.
Bibee, who earned his fifth win, struck out seven of the first 10 batters he faced and allowed just one base runner in his first three innings. His 12 strikeouts were the most this season by any Cleveland pitcher, and the most by a Guardians starter since Lucas Giolito whiffed 12 on Sept. 15. He said afterward that he could feel the video game rhythm between himself and his catcher.
Just one day after Vogt used six relievers because starter Triston McKenzie failed to get out of the third inning, Bibee rescued the bullpen with an efficient six frames, generating 20 swings and misses on 93 total pitches while allowing just three hits and one walk. One week after letting a brilliant outing in Cincinnati slip away with a mistake in the sixth inning, Bibee redeemed himself by punching out a pair and finishing his night strong. The key, he said, was working ahead of Seattle’s hitters and staying consistent.
