Bieber (2-0) fanned 14 over six scoreless innings on Friday against Kansas City. His 27 strikeouts in the two games matched the record set by Karl Spooner of the Brooklyn Dodgers in September 1954 during the first two starts of his short career. Facing a Twins team that came in with the second- best run differential in base- ball, Bieber allowed three singles in his eight innings. Francisco Lindor sup- plied all the offense Cleveland needed with a two-run homer in the third inning off Jose Berríos (0- 1). After Jose Ramirez sin- gled with two outs, Berrios left an 0-2 pitch up over the plate, and Lindor drove it over the fence in right for his second homer of the season.

BY TIM REYNOLDS AP BASKETBALL WRITER

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Players and coaches from the New Orleans Pelicans and Utah Jazz knelt alongside one another before the first game of the NBA restart on Thursday night, an unprecedented image for the league in unprecedented times. The coaches — New Orleans’ Alvin Gentry and Utah’s Quin Snyder — were next to one anoth- er, their arms locked together. Some players raised a fist as the final notes of “The Star-Spangled Banner” were played, the first of what is expected to be many silent statements calling for racial jus- tice and equality following the deaths of, among others, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd in recent months. Even the game referees took a knee during the pregame scene, which occurred with the teams lined up along the sideline nearest where “Black Lives Matter” was painted onto the court.
