Michael Kopech entered with no outs and nobody on base during his first two relief appearances for the Chicago White Sox.
Sunday’s outing against the Kansas City Royals presented a different test, but the right-hander’s plan remained the same.
The Royals had runners on first and second with two outs in the fifth inning Sunday at Guaranteed Rate Field when the Sox called on Kopech.
“It’s just like most situations, just doing what you can control,” Kopech said. “If there’s runners on, your job is still primarily to get that out at the plate.”
“I’ve talked to a few guys about that,” Kopech said.
