Jakubauskas Starting Sunday

Please continue to mercilessly ravish our anuses, Angels.

which since 1973 has used a rule which allows a player, known as the designated hitter, to bat in lieu of the pitcher. So Jakubauskas, though he will start the game as pitcher for Seattle will not have to face Lee, who will not be in the Cleveland lineup due to the aforementioned rule.

However, there have been several cases when an American League team was forced to send the pitcher to bat, so technically it is possible that Jakubauskas will face Lee, however, this is very rare and therefore highly unlikely.
