The Chicago White Sox on Friday return to Guaranteed Rate Field to begin a three-game series with the Seattle Mariners. For the first time this season, the park is fully open for 100% capacity.
“It’s been a lot of good moments when the crowd gets really into it,” left fielder Andrew Vaughn said. “You can feel the electricity in here.”
Lance Lynn has been phenomenal at home, and it began with the home opener when he tossed a five-hit shutout in a 6-0 victory against the Royals in front of 8,207.
Lynn, acquired in the offseason in a trade with the Texas Rangers, recorded the first complete game in a Sox home opener since Britt Burns on April 19, 1985, against the Boston Red Sox and the first shutout since Wilbur Wood on April 9, 1976, against the Royals.
