Cleveland Guardians Probable Pitcher and Starting Lineup vs Kansas City Royals April 12

Who is the Cleveland Guardians probable starting pitcher?

The Cleveland Guardians have tabbed Luis Ortiz to start their second of three games against the Kansas City Royals. Ortiz had somewhat of a bounceback outing last time out, giving up three runs on seven hits in 6 innings in a 6-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. While not particularly impressive, this was noticeably better than his season debut outing, which saw him surrender seven runs on nine hits and four walks in 4.2 innings against the San Diego Padres.

Ortiz has been so-so when facing Royals batters in the past, allowing eight hits in 33 at-bats, including three doubles and two home runs. Salvador Perez, Kyle Isbel, and Jonathan India each have two hits against Ortiz, while Freddy Fermin and Bobby Witt Jr. have one apiece.

Who will the Cleveland Guardians lineup face?

Michael Lorenzen gets the call for the Royals on Saturday, and he is looking to build upon his last start, which saw him allow just one run on five hits in 6 innings of work.

Guardians batters have experienced some success against Lorenzen in the past, going 13-49 with three doubles and three home runs. Leading the way for Cleveland is Carlos Santana (3-12, 2 homers and a double), Jose Ramirez (3-10, one home run and one double), and Austin Hedges (3-6).
