Toronto Blue Jays probable pitchers & starting lineups vs. Chicago White Sox, April 26
The Blue Jays continue to roll as the club dominated the White Sox once again in Tuesday's game, winning in 7-0 fashion. Danny Jansen homered twice, José Berríos returned to his ace-like self and the club seemed to be firing on all cylinders. For the series finale on Wednesday, the two clubs are going head-to-head in a nice and early afternoon matchup.
Probable starting pitchers
- A resurgent Yusei Kikuchi is going to take the mound for the Blue Jays, making his fifth start of the season. The southpaw has excelled so far this year, posting a 3.80 ERA in 21.1 innings of work while striking out 20 and walking just five. Home runs have been an issue for him in the early goings (six surrendered already), but he's done a fine job of keeping the Blue Jays in the ballgame. He will look to feed off of Chris Bassitt and José Berríos' strong starts against these White Sox.
- Opposing Kikuchi will be Michael Kopech, a once promising prospect who has had major issues with durability over the years. Now 26, Kopech came up as a flamethrowing starter who is best known for being the biggest piece involved in the Chris Sale trade back in 2016. Fast forward a few years, and he's only made 77 big league appearances since 2018. Through four starts this year, he has a 6.97 ERA (16 earned runs on 22 hits and 8 home runs allowed) and has walked over six batters per nine innings. He should have a tough time facing off against this always-lethal Blue Jays lineup.
