After missing baseball action for over 500 days, new Blue Jays pitcher Shane Bieber speaks about excelling in his return against the Marlins.

Shane Bieber struck out nine over six dominant innings of one-run ball in his debut with the Blue Jays and first appearance in 16 months Friday night.

Toronto, which leads Major League Baseball in batting average, gave Bieber breathing room early. A three-run first inning set the tone, with RBI hits from Daulton Varsho and Ty France. Varsho later added a two-run homer in the sixth to make it 5–1, his 14th of the season.
