White Sox pitcher Michael Kopech got the start against the Rangers in his home state of Texas, but it was not the showing he had hoped for. Kopech gave up four runs in just 3.1 innings pitched.
Tim Anderson’s suspension for making contact with an umpire last month has been reduced to two games.
Major League Baseball originally handed down a three-game suspension after Anderson’s helmet made contact with home plate umpire Nick Mahrley’s hat in a game against the Oakland A’s last month.
Anderson will serve his suspension on Sunday against the Rangers and then on Tuesday in the first game of a doubleheader against the Royals. The time off is, perhaps, needed for the All-Star shortstop, who is 0 for his last 15 at-bats.
