White Sox bats came back hot tonight, leading the club to an 8-2 victory over the Reds, upping Chicago’s record to 8-6 in Cactus League play.
Tim Anderson and Luis Robert kicked off the game by falling victim to Hunter Greene’s 100+ mph fastballs before Yasmani Grandal smoked a bomb to dead center, bringing Yoán Moncada home with him. Without the game being televised, we were deprived of witnessing live the first of many Yaz bat drops for the year, but oh my, was she a beauty.
On the mound, Michael Kopech performed well during his first outing, going two innings, striking out two, walking no one, and only giving up one run off a Jonathan India home run leading off the game.
