Comments–

Y All ref links are working
Y No copyvio detected
All dashes separating years, scores and win–loss record should be an en dash (–) rather than an ordinary hyphen (-).
"He batted left-handed and threw right-handed. He threw a fastball, a slider, and a changeup." – rather than two short sentences, you could amalgamate the two and say "…threw right handed, and utilized a fastball… [for his pitches]" (not sure about the last part; can leave it out if you want)
"2198.0 innings pitched" – for consistency's sake, remove the 0 at the end, since it isn't utilized elsewhere in the article with whole number IP.
"he was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1993" – for variation, why not "…he was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates the following season"
"He debuted in 1994" – sounds better if "He made his debut in 1994"
"Pirates' manager Jim Leyland named Lieber the teams' Opening Day" – should be "team's", since it applies to only one team.
"Lieber had a ×–y record" – it's written the same every time. For variation, you could use "compiled", "posted" or "recorded" (last word: only if it isn't followed directly by the W–L record).
"On May 24, he one-hit the Cincinnati Reds, 3-0, ending the team's NL-record streak of 208 games in a row without being shut out, throwing just 78 pitches." – any source(s)? (especially for the NL record).
In order to maintain consistency of date formats, the DOB of his children should be M DD, YYYY.
For MLB sources (MLB.com, Cubs.MLB.com), the work should be MLB.com, while the publisher should be MLB Advanced Media.
For Baseball Reference sources, the publisher should be Sports Reference LLC.
For ESPN source (#71), ESPN Internet Ventures should be listed as the publisher (per FL 30–30 club)

I'm placing this on hold for now while issues get addressed. —Bloom6132 (talk) 16:54, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

All my comments have been addressed. Everything looks good to go – passing the article. —Bloom6132 (talk) 08:17, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
