Toronto Blue Jays probable pitchers & starting lineups vs. New York Yankees, April 22

Friday night's matchup against the Blue Jays and Yankees delivered on the hype, and then some. In the end, the Jays won in 6-1 fashion thanks to huge offensive performances from Brandon Belt (2-for-4, HR, 4 RBI) and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (2-for-4, HR, 2 RBI) while Yusei Kikuchi looked sharp, allowing just one earned run over six innings of work.

Probable starting pitchers

• Alek Manoah is scheduled to start against the Evil Empire in Game 2. He has had a hard time getting going this year and is in need of a bounceback performance. In four starts so far this year, Manoah has a 6.98 ERA in 19.1 innings thank to 15 earned runs on 23 hits. He has already surrendered four home runs and is having a bit of a loss of control on the mound as well, walking 15 batters against 16 strikeouts.

• Gerrit Cole, one of Blue Jays Nation's favorite opposing pitchers (not really), will take on Manoah in Saturday's pitching duel. Cole has been red-hot to start the season, posting an ERA of 0.95 across four starts and 28.1 innings of work. He has 32 punchouts against just eight walks and has surrendered a total of three earned runs on 13 hits. Cole is a nemesis to the Blue Jays and Manoah is a nemesis to the Yankees, so this game should be a good one.
