Who is the Cleveland Guardians probable starting pitcher?

Luis Ortiz gets the call for the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday, as they are looking to avoid being swept by the Cincinnati Reds and win their first Ohio Cup game of the season. The Guardians have dropped into third place in the AL Central, and a win on Sunday would help close the gap between themselves and first place Detroit.

Ortiz will be looking to build off of his last start, which saw him shut down the Philadelphia Phillies to the tune of one run allowed on four hits in 6 innings, the one run being a Kyle Schwarber solo shot. Another outing like this should have the Guardians in a pretty good spot to win their first game in Cincinnati.

The Reds have been held to a 6-37 line when facing Ortiz in previous matchups, with the only non-singles being a duo of doubles, one from Santiago Espinal and the other belonging to Tyler Stephenson.

Who will the Cleveland Guardians lineup face?

Andrew Abbott will start for the Reds on Sunday as they look to complete the sweep of the visiting Guardians. Abbott has allowed more than one run just once this season, with the four runs allowed to the Rockies in Colorado being an early outlier.

Jose Ramirez's two hits are the most of any Guardians batter against Abbott, while Gabriel Arias is the only one to record an extra-base hit, a solo home run.
