In his previous 149 pitching appearances, the 31-year-old right-hander\u2019s high for walks was five.<\/p>\n<p>According to Stathead\/Baseball Reference, Bieber is the 11th pitcher in major league history to walk at least six while recording two outs or less, and the first to do so since Florida\u2019s Ryan Dempster on Oct. 5, 2001, at Atlanta.<\/p>\n<p>Bieber said he had difficulty gripping the ball and struggled with his command as a result. Bieber didn\u2019t walk anyone in his previous start Thursday, when he allowed one run in seven innings against Tampa Bay.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><button

\u201cUltimately, I follow up what was maybe my best start as a Blue Jay with what was definitely my worst.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bieber is the first Cy Young winner to have such an outing, although Hall of Famers Bob Feller and Christy Mathewson did, too. Bieber won the AL Cy Young in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Bieber threw 42 pitches, with only 15 strikes. He is the second player this season to throw that many pitches with so few strikes. Kansas City\u2019s Eric Cerantola threw 14 strikes in a 42-pitch relief outing against Tampa Bay on June 30.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-primary-tag\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI have no excuses,\u201d Bieber said. \u201cI have to find a way to get out of that first inning.

I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever had anything like that happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Washington\u2019s James Wood led off the first with a walk, and Luis Garc\u00eda Jr. followed with a grounder to second. Dylan Crews then earned a free pass, and CJ Abrams followed with a well-placed infield single.<\/p>\n<p>The typically free-swinging Keibert Ruiz followed with a four-pitch walk that scored the first run, and Daylen Lile drew another walk that pushed in another run. Nasim Nu\u00f1ez hit a sacrifice fly before Jorbit Vivas loaded the bases again with the inning\u2019s fifth walk, prompting a mound visit from Toronto pitching coach Pete Walker.<\/p>\n<figure
