MLB Lineups Today: Complete Batting Orders and Starting Pitchers for Braves vs. Pirates, Red Sox vs. Royals & More | 11 May 2025
Sunday’s MLB slate wraps up the weekend with several intriguing pitching matchups and playoff-caliber storylines already surfacing in May. In Pittsburgh, veteran lefty Chris Sale will start for Atlanta. The Pirates will have Carmen Mlodzinski on the mound, aiming to cool down one of baseball’s most dangerous offenses.
Over in Kansas City, Lucas Giolito looks to steady Boston’s rotation against Seth Lugo and a Royals squad that’s quietly stayed competitive in the AL Central race. With both offenses heating up off late, especially Bobby Witt Jr. and Rafael Devers, this could be one of Sunday’s sneakily explosive matchups.
Keep an eye on the Yankees, the Dodgers and the Phillies as they continue crucial road trips in front of surging crowds.
