Shane Bieber struck out 11, setting two major league records in the process, and pitched the Cleveland Indians past the Chicago White Sox 5-3 on Friday night.

Bieber (3-2) fanned at least eight in his 18th straight game, breaking a tie for the mark set by Hall of Famer Randy Johnson in 1999-2000.

Bieber's 11 strikeouts give him 68 for the season, the most by any pitcher through the end of April in MLB history, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

Bieber gave up three runs and seven hits, walking one in six innings. The reigning AL Cy Young Award winner has fanned 68 in six starts this year -- has struck out at 11 in five of those games.
