Who is the Cleveland Guardians probable starting pitcher?

The Cleveland Guardians will have Triston McKenzie start the first game of their series with the Minnesota Twins. McKenzie has allowed two runs or fewer in his last five starts and six of his previous seven.

The only Twins hitter with a respectable track record when facing McKenzie is Carlos Correa's 5-14 with two home runs. Meanwhile, Willie Castro (1-14, 10 strikeouts), Ryan Jeffers (3-14, five strikeouts), Max Kepler (2-19, three strikeouts), and Carlos Santana (0-10) have all struggled.
