Michael Kopech’s talent was on full display Friday at Guaranteed Rate Field, pitching a perfect game into the sixth inning against the Kansas City Royals.
Kopech received just enough offensive support. The Sox scored twice in the second — an RBI single from Gavin Sheets and a sacrifice fly to center from Romy Gonzalez.“With the stuff he has, he can do that any night,” Sox catcher Seby Zavala said.“He’s got that type of talent,” Grifol said. “His fastball, it’s got another gear to it. it might have had two. He threw some fastballs in fastball counts that he was able to get by good hitters.
Kopech was sharp throughout. He went to a 3-1 count to leadoff batter Bobby Witt Jr. before the shortstop grounded out to third on the next pitch. A batter didn’t have three balls in a count again until the fifth, when Nick Pratto went to a full count before striking out swinging. Massey, who went to Brother Rice, broke his bat on a 2-2 fastball while lofting a single to shallow right field. Jackie Bradley Jr. then grounded into an inning-ending double play.Kopech struck out two more in the eighth. At 98 pitches, he made his case for pitching the ninth.
