CLEVELAND — Shane Bieber struck out 10 in five innings to remain unbeaten in 2020 and Carlos Santana had two RBI, leading the Cleveland Indians to a 4-1 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday.

Bieber (7-0) only allowed one run and five singles, but the right-hander ran up his pitch count – 58 combined in the fourth and fifth innings – and needed Cleveland’s bullpen to finish things off.

Brad Hand, the Indians’ fourth reliever, worked the ninth for his 11th save in 11 tries. It was his 100th career save.

Bieber came in leading the majors strikeouts and added to his total by reaching double-digits for the sixth time this season.

NOTES

PHILLIES: Philadelphia put outfielders Jay Bruce and Roman Quinn on the injured list, leaving the roster in a bind ahead of a busy stretch in the schedule.

Bruce re-aggravated a left quadriceps injury Saturday during a 5-1 loss to the New York Mets and was added to the 10-day injured list. Quinn was placed on the seven-day concussion injured list after slamming into the center field wall chasing a flyball Saturday.

Philadelphia has only four primary outfielders on the active roster – Bryce Harper, Adam Haseley, Andrew McCutchen and newly promoted Kyle Garlick – as it begins a stretch Tuesday that includes five doubleheaders in 15 days.
