Chicago White Sox Conclude Trying Road Trip with 3-6 Record & Kopech to Take the Mound in Home Opener
The Chicago White Sox concluded a trying nine-game road trip with a record of 3-6. Despite gaining an advantage to start by winning two of three from the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves, the White Sox were unable to capitalize and dropped all three games to the AL Central Division-leading Minnesota Twins, including a 5-4 loss on Sunday marked by a bullpen meltdown. As a bright spot, starter Lucas Giolito shone, pitching five shutout innings and striking out nine. The White Sox now stand at 84-78, and will face the Cubs in their first game back at home. To kick off the series, right-hander Michael Kopech will take the mound. Kopech holds a 4-8 in record across 18 starts, with five of them being quality starts, and a season ERA of 4.29. Injuries to third baseman Yoan Moncada and closer Liam Hendricks will have to be contended with going forward.
