Shane Bieber struck out nine over six dominant innings of one-run ball in his debut with the Blue Jays on Friday night, helping Toronto beat the Miami Marlins 5-2 after 16 months away from the mound.
"Today, it was all gratitude for what's been a long road for my family and my support team that keep me going every day," Bieber said. "Just awesome to share this moment with them."
It was Bieber's first major league appearance since April 2, 2024, when he experienced elbow discomfort and subsequently underwent Tommy John surgery.
