The 30-year-old didn't have any lack of support behind him, though, as his wife, Kara Maxine Bieber, had hyped up his outing ahead of the game. After the Blue Jays' practice session on Tuesday morning, Kara shared pictures of her partner on her story with a four-word statement.

"Yeah that's my guy," Kara wrote.

Kara has been regularly seen donning the Blue Jays jersey and cheering on her husband's team as they navigate through the playoffs. She has also introduced their son, Kav, born in March this year, to Rogers Centre and other Blue Jays games.

Kara and Shane are first-time parents. They got married in 2023, two years after their engagement. The couple met while they were in college at UC Santa-Barbara. The couple has had to balance their role as parents while needing to move to a new city, as Bieber was traded to the Blue Jays by the Cleveland Guardians ahead of the deadline this year.

Bieber, who had gone through Tommy John surgery, was traded to Toronto while in rehab. He was activated by the team in late August, making 7 starts and earning a 4-2, 3.57 ERA record to finish the season.

Shane Bieber was chased early from the game by the Yankees in the third inning after the starter gave up two runs on three hits and a sacrifice fly and walked the last batter he faced with one out remaining. The Blue Jays were holding a 6-3 lead when John Schneider decided to take him off the mound.

As per former Blue Jays center fielder for twelve seasons, Vernon Wells, the decision was premature.

"You don’t take Shane out with 53 pitches with Game 4 being a bullpen game," Wells wrote.

Pulling Bieber from the game didn't result in any positive results as the Yankees lineup plunked relievers Mason Fluharty and Louis Varland in the following innings to tie the game before Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit the go-ahead home run in the fourth.
