CHICAGO — The first pitch White Sox starter Michael Kopech threw Friday night nearly hit Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. in the head
Unfortunately for the Royals, that was not a sign of Kopech struggling with his command at Guaranteed Rate Field. Kopech retired the first 16 Royals batters and the White Sox won, 2-0.
Royals second baseman Michael Massey broke up the perfect game with a looping single to right in the sixth inning. Jackie Bradley Jr. followed by hitting into a double play.
