Sox Struggle in Opening Day Loss

On March 27, the Chicago White Sox kicked off their season with a tough 14-2 loss to the Milwaukee

Brewers at American Family Field.

Second baseman Chase Mydroff made history by hitting the first opening day lead-off

home run for any Sox player, smashing it off Starter Jacob.

Missy Rowsky, but the excitement faded fast as the Brewers piled on runs in front of

a sell-out crowd of 43,001.

The Brewers erupted for four runs in the second inning alone, chasing Sox Starter

Shane Smith after just one and two-thirds innings.

They kept pouring it on with two more in the fourth, two in the fifth on a homer by

South Freelic, three in the sixth, and three in the seventh, Bia A.

Blast from Jake Bowers.

Sox pictures struggled with command, handing out 10 walks.

Sox hitters had a nightmare at the plate, striking out a record 20 times in a 9-inning opener.

The most since at least 19-01.

Manager Will Venable called it a rough day, pointing to the high strikeouts and walks

allowed.

Smith battled fastball command issues, but noted a key strikeout that helped limit some

damage.

On a brighter note, Japanese rookie Munitaka Murakami nashed his first majorly hit, a solo

homer leading off the knife.

The Sox managed just four hits total, with Missy Rowsky fanning 11 and five strong innings

from Milwaukee.

It's only the first game of 162, so the Sox are already putting this one behind them

and focusing on adjustments moving forward.
