After winning game 1 in 4-3 fashion thanks to a clutch Bo Bichette home run, the Toronto Blue Jays fell in game 2 against the Los Angeles Angels 9-5 as José Berríos once again struggled to consistently shut down the opposition.
Probable starting pitchers
Left-hander Yusei Kikuchi will take the mound for the Blue Jays, making his second start of the year. After struggling during the 2022 regular season, he went off in Spring Training, posting the league's best ERA and leading the league in strikeouts amongst qualified starters. In his first start of the season, he struck out two batters through five innings, earning the victory against the Royals.
In a battle of the lefties, 23-year-old Reid Detmers will get the start for the Angels. He also had a solid 2023 debut, going 4.2 innings with seven strikeouts, allowing two earned runs on four hits against the Mariners. Last year, he rose to prominence after throwing a no-hitter against the Rays in his 11th career start.
