The No. 12 Auburn Tigers gained momentum in their SEC series with Kentucky on Friday by taking down the Wildcats, 12-5, at Plainsman Park. Will the Tigers find more success at the plate on Saturday?
Auburn logged 15 hits in Friday's win over Kentucky, with five players recording multiple hits. The Tigers scored 12 runs on 15 hits without hitting a home run, and by chasing Kentucky starting pitcher Jaxon Jelkin after two innings and giving him his first loss of the 2026 season. Auburn's pitching complemented the bats as Andreas Alvarez struck out five batters over six innings, and the relief staff, led by LJ Cormier, struck out four batters and allowed three runs over the final three innings.
Auburn will aim to clinch its series with Kentucky behind another strong effort at the plate and a quality performance from starting pitcher Jake Marciano. Marciano enters the game with a 3-1 record, an ERA of 1.29, and 64 strikeouts. He will battle Kentucky's Nate Harris on Saturday, who is 4-2 with a 5.40 ERA.
Will Auburn get the best of Kentucky for the second-straight game? Follow along for the latest score updates, highlights, and notes from game two of the Auburn-Kentucky series from Plainsman Park.
From the desk of head coach Butch Thompson, here is a look at how the Auburn Tigers will line up on Saturday as they look to win the series over Kentucky.
If it isn't broke, don't fix it. Auburn is going with the same fielding alignment as Friday, a lineup that pieced together 15 hits and 12 runs. The only change is that Eric Guevara and Chris Rembert swap places, with Guevara hitting third and Rembert hitting fifth. Logan Gregorio also moves to the eight-hole from the sixth slot.
The shift ensures that Kentucky will face alternating left and right handed batters the entire way.
Saturday's SEC tilt between Auburn and Kentucky is set for 7 p.m. CT on Saturday, April 11.
Auburn vs. Kentucky will air on SEC Network on Saturday from Plainsman Park in Auburn, Alabama. Streaming options include Fubo, which offers a free trial to new subscribers.
