Kopech pitched a tidy six innings for the White Sox and ended up with one earned run on the afternoon. Not too shabby for the kid’s second outing.
His start wasn’t without a few hiccups, but it was a good “welcome to the Kopech era” (as one enthusiastic fan’s sign at Comerica Park read).
In his six innings, the Tigers had seven hits off of the rookie. But, he struck out four batters and did not give up any free bases or home runs. The same could not be said for the veteran he faced.
