Toronto Blue Jays probable pitchers & starting lineups vs. Detroit Tigers, April 13

These Blue Jays are on a roll! While all of these late-game, come-from-behind victories are not good for anybody's anxiety, the club continues to win games. Thursday night will be the early-season series finale between the Jays and Detroit Tigers.

Probable starting pitchers

Chris Bassitt, one of the shiny new toys the Blue Jays brought aboard during the 2022-2023 offseason, will make his third start of the year (and first at home) in the game. His first two starts have each been disastrous in their own ways. In his season debut, he went just 3.1 innings, surrendering nine earned runs on 10 hits. In start No. 2, he made it through six innings but walked five batters and had an overall difficult time keeping the Angels off the bases. His performance did earn him the first win of his Blue Jays career, though, which has to count for something.

Opposing Bassitt in the game will be Tigers starter Spencer Turnbull, who has become one of the longest-tenured members of this rebuilding team. The 30-year-old has struggled out of the gate this year, making it through a combined eight innings in two starts, walking (5) more batters than he's struck out (4) while surrendering 12 earned runs.
