Before the game, Steve Stone threw out the first pitch celebrating his 40th year in broadcasting. Don’t worry folks, he’s still got it!
40 years in the booth. A feat that few have achieved. Congratulations, Steve Stone! pic.twitter.com/5KRAyKtSGp

Michael Kopech was on the mound, and he got off to a fantastic start, even striking out Mookie Betts to start the game (twice, if we’re being honest ... thanks to the umps).
Michael Kopech aced Markus Lynn Betts twice in that appearance

The offense wasn’t doing much (typical), but Kopech was dealing the first couple innings, racking up some key strikeouts against Justin Turner and Cody Bellinger.
Kopech is perfect through two innings

in more than one way

Can we PLEASE score Kopech some runs?!
Why won’t anyone give Kopech run support?! He dominates on the mound and this is how he’s treated.
— Chrystal O’Keefe (@chrystal_ok) June 8, 2022
If Kopech is gonna keep the Dodgers off the board the least they could do for him is score a run.

Seriously, he was lights-out. I’m still mesmerized from that marvelous performance.

Michael Kopech has Cy Young stuff. This is an actual fact.

The White Sox continued to fail with bases loaded in the fifth, ending a rally with strikeouts from both Reese McGuire and Josh Harrison. Pretty painful.
The #WhiteSox send up Reese McGuire in that spot because they’re committed to resting a player that should be on the IL.
— Patrick Nolan (@SoxMach_pnoles) June 8, 2022
They then send up Josh Harrison in that spot because they refuse to admit he’s not supposed to be here anymore.
Rick Hahn killed that rally.
David Price came in to pitch in the bottom of the sixth, and the Good Guys went on a rally that began with an AJ Pollock double to score the first runs of the game!
White Sox won the Pollock/Kimbrel trade.

And how about Jake Burger?! Or a Reese McGuire do-over? I’ll allow it.
CHEESEBURGERS FOR EVERYONE

Reese McGuire jerks one to left to drive a run in
— Bennett Karoll (@TheBennettK) June 8, 2022
Just like that the White Sox were winning, and fans didn’t know what to do with themselves (myself included).
Wait wait wait

Lemme make sure I’m getting this right
The 2022 White Sox are….beating the Dodgers right now?!??!!??!
So this is what it’s like to enjoy baseball

I like it when the White Sox play well #analysis

The relief pitching was just as beautiful. Bummer threw some truly nasty stuff and Graveman got himself into a bit of a jam, but worked his way right out of it.

The South Side Slydah was ready to shut Los Angeles down, securing a game one win!
The light show begins, indicating Liam Hendriks is on to try to nail this one down. Not a save situation, with the Sox ahead by four, but it might as well be against these high-powered Dodgers.
— Vinnie Duber (@VinnieDuber) June 8, 2022
won 3 straight?
— (@likedemolition) June 8, 2022
shutout the dodgers?
is this real life?
3 wins in a row against quality teams for the White Sox.
— Josh Nelson (@soxmachine_josh) June 8, 2022
Remaining schedule after this series is the easiest in MLB. A turning of the tide was coming, but maybe it's starting earlier than thought.
— Chicago White Sox (@whitesox) June 8, 2022
How about one more time for Michael Kopech!? Let’s go Sox!
Pedro Martinez says that #Kopech “man-handled” the #Dodgers. Couldn’t have said it better myself. #Whitesox
