Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Quality start despite loss
Rotowire
Bibee (11-8) took the loss Friday against the Rays, allowing three runs on eight hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out nine.
With this 91-pitch effort, Bibee collected his 10th quality start while notching his first game with more than eight strikeouts since June 19 against Seattle. He also managed to post his first walk-free start since Aug. 11. However, all three runs the Cleveland right-hander allowed came via a pair of home runs, and he's yielded a team-worst 22 long balls on the season. Overall, Bibee has pitched to a 3.60 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 175:41 K:BB across 160 innings. He is projected to make his next outing against the Twins at home next week.
Bibee (11-7) took the loss Sunday against the Dodgers, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four over five innings.
Bibee pitched well enough to keep the Guardians in the game but received no help from his offense, as the Guardians were shut out by Jack Flaherty and the Dodgers' bullpen. Bibee blanked them through three frames, but the Dodgers were able to push a run across in the fourth after Mookie Betts led off with a triple and then Shohei Ohtani added on in the fifth with a solo home run. Bibee's now issued eight walks over his last three starts and has reached six innings just once over his last six outings. For the year, he owns a 3.56 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 166:41 K:BB in 154 innings. He lines up to face the Rays at home over the weekend his next time out.
Bibee (11-6) earned the win in Tuesday's victory over the Royals, allowing one run on two hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out six.
The Cleveland right-hander picked up his fourth win and second quality start post-All-Star break with this 91-pitch performance. The only blemish on Bibee's evening came in the sixth inning when Paul DeJong hit a sacrifice fly. The 25-year-old has been on a roll in the second half, pitching to a 3.09 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 39:11 K:BB across 44 innings. Bibee currently lines up to make his next against the bottom-feeding White Sox in Chicago next week.
Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Surrenders three long balls
Rotowire
Bibee escaped with a no-decision in Wednesday's win against Kansas City, allowing five earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six in five innings.
Bibee uncharacteristically allowed three home runs Wednesday, including two in the opening frame to Michael Massey and Vinnie Pasquantino. The three home runs matched the total he allowed in his first six starts (33 innings) coming out of the All-Star break. Bibee was able to limit the damage and come away with a no-decision, but he has now allowed nine total runs over his last two starts. Despite the recent struggles, the 25-year-old has had an impressive sophomore season, posting a 3.65 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and a dazzling 156:35 K:BB across 143 innings (26 starts). He will look to exact revenge in a rematch with the Royals early next week.
Bibee (10-6) allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk over 5.2 innings Friday, striking out six and taking a loss against Texas.
All the damage against Bibee came during a disastrous four-run second inning. Outside of that frame, he let just one Ranger reach scoring position. He's failed to complete six innings in three straight starts and five of his last six outings. However, he's 3-2 with a 2.45 ERA over that stretch. Bibee now owns a 3.46 ERA with a 150:33 K:BB through 138 innings. His next outing is projected to be at home against the Royals.
Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Strikes out seven in loss
Rotowire
Bibee (10-5) allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and a walk while striking out seven over five innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Brewers.
Bibee has not allowed more than two runs in any of his last five starts, but he didn't receive enough run support this time. The right-hander continues to put together a strong year with a 3.33 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 144:32 K:BB over 132.1 innings across 24 starts. Bibee is projected to make his next start at home versus the Rangers.
Bibee (10-4) allowed one run on six hits and struck out five without walking a batter over 5.2 innings to earn the win Sunday over the Twins.
Bibee hadn't pitched since July 29 due to a shoulder issue, but he was able to avoid a stint on the injured list. He came up an out short of a quality start Sunday, throwing 58 of 84 pitches for strikes to earn his 10th win of the year and his third victory in his last four starts. He's at a 3.39 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 137:31 K:BB through 127.1 innings over 23 starts this season. Assuming he doesn't have a recurrence of the shoulder issue, he's lined up for a road start in Milwaukee next weekend.
