White Sox starting pitcher Michael Kopech looks up at a popup to end the top of the sixth inning against the Tigers on Friday at Guaranteed Rate Field.The Chicago White Sox starter had not allowed a hit and struck out a career-high 11 through six stellar frames Friday against the Detroit Tigers at Guaranteed Rate Field.“I thought I had a pretty decent chance, but they didn’t want that to happen,” Kopech said.
White Sox right fielder Andrew Vaughn drops the bat after hitting a two-run single against the Tigers to break a scoreless tie in the seventh inning Friday at Guaranteed Rate Field. “That’s as far as he should have gone,” manager Tony La Russa said of Kopech. “But if you think I’m old school, I’m really new school. I would change the definition of a win. If we win the game, he’s got to get the win.Kopech, who exited after 85 pitches, said he understood the decision.
“Eighty-five pitches in the sixth isn’t going to get me through the ninth inning,” Kopech said. “What they were saying was, ‘What’s the difference between the sixth and the seventh if you’re not going to go nine?’ And I understand. “I would have liked to have gone deeper, but the bullpen came in and did their job, and we put some runs up and won the game and that’s what matters.”
