Can’t wait to leave Chicago.
Michael Kopech kicked things off on the White Sox mound by taking the Tigers batters 1-2-3. In the bottom of the first, Matthew Boyd fumbled early with a leadoff single to Tim Anderson, but found his footing quickly and finished off the remaining batters in order. The second and third innings were likewise quickly dealt with as both pitchers went 1-2-3 through the order, rinsed, and repeated.
In the top of the fourth Akil Baddoo reached on a two-out single, then stole second. A Spencer Torkelson home run followed, bringing in two runs and putting the Tigers on the board.
