Game #43 GameThread: Rays @ Jays
End of the series with the Rays. And then we don’t have to see them for a little while.
The Jays are saying there is nothing decided on Jose Berrios yet. They are ‘talking through a plan with doctors”, which doesn’t sound like great news. I don’t think we’ll be seeing him on a mound for a while.
Today we get to watch Dylan Cease, who’s been pretty terrific this season. And we also get Tyler Heineman, who is having a terrible time at the plate, and not all that much better behind the plate. He’s got a little bit to turn it around before Alejandro Kirk comes back, but he better start soon.
Amazingly enough the Jays are only 2.5 games back in the Wild Card race (also amazing that the White Sox hold that spot at the moment. But there are five teams between the Jays and that Wild Card spot. There are a lot of teams not playing well early this season.
Today’s lineups:
Go Jays Go.

Royals vs White Sox game 43 thread
After a tough loss on the South Side last night, the boys in blue are back at it again this evening. Game two of the series is very important if they want to get back home with an even record or better on this road trip.
This might be the most favorable pitching matchup of the the three game set. Seth Lugo has been possibly the most consistent starter for Kansas City thus far giving up 2 or fewer runs in six out of eight starts and getting 6 or more innings that often as well. He is coming off of a 4 inning start that did not go so well, so looking to get back on track.
The White Sox starter is Noah Shultz, a 22 year-old lefty who is very interesting, but not established yet. His 4.68 ERA is not great and a lot of that has to do with a 5.76 BB/9 innings rate. Royals hitters need to be selective against him and take any free passes that he gives. Left handed pitching has been a problem for the Royals for a couple of years now, and so far this year the team is posting a 91 wRC+ when facing a southpaw compared to a 100 against right handed foes.
To adjust to the lefty, Lane Thomas is slotted third and Salvy is back in his cleanup spot despite recent struggles. Starling Marte and Nick Lofting will also get starts, meaning that Isbel, Caglianone, and Massey will be on the bench tonight. Here is what that lineup looks like:
The White Sox will go with this:

Braves vs Cubs chat and discussion: JR Ritchie vs Shota Imanaga
The stage is set, and the Chicago Cubs are looking for a get -back against the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves.
As leaders of the central themselves, they’re not going to be an easy team to keep at bay, especially if they can get some early runs. The Braves, however, are known to find their ways to win late if they have to, and won’t back down without a fight.
It’s all happening tonight at 7:15 p.m EST in Atlanta.
Texas Rangers lineup for May 13, 2026
Texas Rangers lineup for May 13, 2026 against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the series finale featuring Kumar Rocker for the Rangers and Ryne Nelson for the D-Backs in a battle between a couple of righties.
The Rangers were back in the win column yesterday evening with the roof open. Tonight the roof will be open again as Texas attempts to close out the series with a victory to conclude an otherwise successful homestand. Guess who is back in the leadoff spot. (Hint: It’s Joc Pederson.)
The lineup:
- Joc Pederson – DH
- Brandon Nimmo – RF
- Corey Seager – SS
- Josh Jung – 3B
- Evan Carter – CF
- Ezequiel Duran – 2B
- Alejandro Osuna – LF
- Jake Burger – 1B
- Danny Jansen – C
7:05 p.m. Central start time.
Game Thread #40: Milwaukee Brewers (23-16) vs San Diego Padres (24-17)
Fresh off a 6-4 series opening win on Tuesday night, the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres are back at it with both teams’ respective aces on the mound.
The Brewers will have Jacob Misiorowski starting tonight. He’s coming off an electric start against the Yankees where he struck out 11 and threw the most pitches 103+ MPH in a game of any pitcher in MLB history. Misiorowski maintained his velocity deep into that start, where he went six shutout innings against one of the best lineups in baseball. He’ll look to shut down the Padres lineup that’s also filled with stars tonight.
The Padres will have Michael King on the bump. King has a 2.76 ERA on the season and is coming off a great outing against the Cardinals where he threw six innings of one run ball, allowing just one hit and striking out six. He’s allowed the highest walk rate of his career this season at 11.1%, though it’s still early. Opponents are hitting just .179 against him.
The Brewers lineup will once again be without Christian Yelich. He returned from the IL for Tuesday night’s game but is not starting tonight. According to Pat Murphy, Yelich is dealing with a little back soreness. Yelich was pushing to be able to play, but Murphy decided to play it cautious and try to let the sore back calm down before it becomes a larger problem.
That means the top of the Brewers lineup will have Jackson Chourio, Brice Turang, and William Contreras in the first three spots. Jake Bauers will bat cleanup and DH while Andrew Vaughn bats fifth and is at first base. Garrett Mitchell, Luis Rengifo, Sal Frelick, and Joey Ortiz round out the rest of the lineup in support of Misiorowski.
The Padres have their big bats all at the top of the order, with Jackson Merrill, Fernando Tatis Jr, Manny Machado, and Miguel Andujar making up the first four spots. Xander Bogaerts is no slouch either batting fifth.
It should be quite the pitching matchup tonight. Can Miz repeat the types of performances he’s had lately? First pitch is at 6:40 PM.
Washington Nationals vs Cincinnati Reds Game Thread
The Nats won the first game of the series emphatically in Cincinnati. They hit a whopping six home runs in the 10-4 blow out win. Now, they will look to follow that up with another strong performance to claim a series win. Hopefully they do not drop the ball like they did in Miami.
With a lefty on the mound, the Nats lineup looks pretty different. Curtis Mead and Joey Wiemer will be in the lineup after missing out last night. Wiemer will be in right field, which pushes James Wood to left field and Daylen Lile to DH. Mead will be over at first base and hit second. Keibert Ruiz remains behind the plate and Jake Irvin will be on the mound in this one.
The Reds only made one personnel change, but there is a lot of movement around the lineup. Former Nat Nathaniel Lowe will be DH’ing tonight for the Reds. TJ Friedl will move way down the lineup from leadoff to 8th. Sal Stewart goes from DH to third base in this one and Will Benson will be in the leadoff spot. Nick Lodolo makes his second start of the season after missing the first month with an injury.

Game Thread: Royals (19-23) at White Sox (20-21)
Chicago gets a shot at .500 tonight as the rookie Noah Schultz takes the hill for the Sox. Kansas City counters with Seth Lugo, a veteran righty who’s seen it all.
Schultz is 2-2 with a 4.68 ERA and a WHIP that’s not exactly sparkling. His last start? A tire fire: seven runs, seven hits, not even four innings before the hook. But the numbers under the hood aren’t all doom. The fastball is real — 95.6 mph and chewing up hitters, with a run value that puts him in the upper crust. Opponents are barely scraping together a .228 xBA, and he’s living in the 78th percentile for hard-hit rate.
When Schultz actually finds the plate, the stuff pops. He fanned eight Nationals in April and flashed the kind of wipeout arsenal that makes you remember why he’s supposed to be a future ace around here.
But the kid’s wild streak is also no joke, with 16 walks in 25 innings, which is how you end up near the league’s basement for free passes. The Royals aren’t exactly a pushover, either, with Vinnie Pasquantino and Bobby Witt Jr. who can wait you out and punish mistakes. Schultz’s breaking and offspeed stuff has been getting tattooed, too. Tonight’s a gut-check: does he bounce back?
Here’s how the Royals will line up against Schultz.
Lugo, meanwhile, is 1-2 with a 3.21 ERA and a WHIP that’s just as mediocre. He’s still a headache to face, mostly because his breaking ball is pure filth and one of the nastiest in the game by run value. The fastball? Not so much. Lugo barely touches 91, and hitters have feasted on it all year. If the Sox can lay off the junk and jump on a mistake or two, there’s a window here.
So here’s the deal tonight: patience or bust. Lugo doesn’t walk many, and his offspeed stuff will eat you alive if you’re hacking early. If the Sox start chasing, get ready for a night of weak grounders and runners left to rot. But if they make Lugo throw strikes and don’t miss the rare meatball, maybe — just maybe — this team sees .500.
Here’s how skipper Will Venable will run the Good Guys out against Lugo.
The first pitch is set for 6:40 p.m. CST on CHSN, with radio coverage on ESPN 1000.
Colorado Rockies game no. 43 thread: José Quintana vs Mitch Keller
The Colorado Rockies are on a three-game losing streak after losing last night to the Pittsburgh Pirates because Paul Skenes did the things that Paul Skenes does. The Rockies were no-hit—and had just one baserunner via a hit by pitch—until a Mickey Moniak single in the seventh inning
However, Skenes is now out of the way for the series and the Rockies will hopefully have the chance to steal a game or two in the Steel City.
Left-handed veteran José Quintana will start this evening for the Rockies. Quintana has quietly settled into a quality rhythm over the last month despite a somewhat bumpy start. In his last three outings he has gone at least five innings deep and given up two or fewer earned runs each time. Though not exactly a strikeout machine, he’s dialed back the walks and largely kept opposing batters from scoring even if they reach.
Quintana’s last outing came against the New York Mets, where he gave up just two earned runs on five hits and two walks over 5.2 innings of work.
Making the start for the Pirates is the right-handed Mitch Keller, who is off to an excellent start this season. Keller has made eight starts in 2026 with six Quality Starts. He’s failed to make it through the sixth inning just twice and has only given up more than three earned runs one time so far. He enters today’s contest with a 2.87 ERA with 35 strikeouts over 41 innings.
Keller has had no problem with the Rockies throughout his career. In five appearances—four of which were starts—he has an ERA of just 1.91 with 26 strikeouts in 28.1 innings. His primary pitch is a low-to-mid 90s four-seam fastball that he supplements with an absolute barrage of breaking pitches including a sweeper, a sinker, a traditional slider, a curveball, a changeup, and a cutter. His curveball is particularly dangerous with a 44.4% whiff rate and a 30.8% put-away rate.
