CHICAGO -- White Sox right-hander Michael Kopech was pulled after throwing six no-hit innings against the Detroit Tigers on Friday night.
Kopech struck out a career-best 11, walked three and threw 85 pitches.
Manager Tony La Russa brought in reliever Reynaldo Lopez to start the seventh, and the combined no-hit bid ended immediately when Detroit's Javier Baez led off with a single to right-center. Lopez retired the next three batters to end the inning.
The 26-year-old Kopech missed the 2019 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery and opted out in 2020 for health reasons.
