Fatherhood seems to agree with Reynaldo Lopez.
The White Sox right-hander threw 7 2/3 solid innings Saturday afternoon, the second part of a personal doubleheader that included being at his wife’s side for the birth of their first child — daughter Zoe — at 5:15 p.m. Friday at Northwestern Memorial’s Prentice Women’s Hospital.
Lopez was outpitched by lefty Danny Duffy in a 5-0 loss to the Royals at Guaranteed Rate Field but seemed sharp and thoroughly dialed in. He even made a strong fielding play in the eighth, throwing out Whit Merrifield at third base on a sacrifice-bunt attempt.
