As the White Sox gear up to face the Rangers this evening, fans can expect an intriguing matchup between two teams looking to find their footing this spring. Both clubs come into the game with a record of 13-10, setting the stage for a competitive contest.
On the mound for the White Sox will be Sean Burke, who has struggled during Spring Training with an ERA of 6.75. In eight innings of work, Burke has surrendered nine hits and six earned runs, alongside two walks and six strikeouts. With Kyle Teel sidelined for a few more weeks, the spotlight will also be on Korey Lee, who has the opportunity to showcase his skills behind the plate.
Opposing Burke is Rangers’ left-hander MacKenzie Gore. Unfortunately for Gore, his performance has been even more challenging, as he enters the game with a staggering ERA of 12.79 after just 6 1/3 innings pitched. He has allowed 12 hits and nine earned runs, along with three walks, a hit-by-pitch, and only three strikeouts. Amidst the action, fans will be excited to see former White Sox player Jake Burger at first base, batting cleanup for Texas.
For those with access to MLB Network, the first pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. CT. If you miss the live action, be sure to check back here for a comprehensive postgame recap.
