The future is now for the Chicago White Sox.Right-hander Michael Kopech [url=http://www.piratesfanproshop.com/authentic-chad-kuhl-jersey]Chad Kuhl Jersey[/url] , a hard-throwing 22-year-old who is widely regarded as one of the top pitching prospects in baseball, will make his big league debut Tuesday night when the White Sox host the Minnesota Twins at Guaranteed Rate Field. Kopech will be promoted before the game from Triple-A Charlotte, where he has been dominant in recent weeks.His new teammates cannot wait to welcome him aboard.Article continues below ...“Really good, really good,” White Sox right-hander Reynaldo Lopez said. “We’re going to have one of the best prospects in the game with us. He’s one of the best, and everybody thinks he’s supposed to be a superstar, and we’re all excited.”The Boston Red Sox selected Kopech with the No. 33 overall pick in the 2013 draft out of Mount Pleasant (Texas) High School. He developed quickly and became a main piece in the trade that sent All-Star left-hander Chris Sale from Chicago to Boston.This season, Kopech has posted 170 strikeouts in 126 1/3 innings. He is 7-7 with a 3.70 ERA in 24 starts, but his past seven starts have been particularly dominant as he has an incredible 59-to-4 strikeout-to-walk ratio.White Sox catcher Kevan Smith is familiar with Kopech from his time in the minors.“(He is) electric [url=http://www.piratesfanproshop.com/authentic-ivan-nova-jersey]http://www.p... , I guess you could say,” Smith said. “Heavy fastball, life toward the end. It’s heavy. That’s something he has. The last I caught him, we were playing with his changeup a little bit, trying to get his changeup numbers up. …“He’s been throwing the ball great. I’ve been keeping up with what he’s doing. No surprise he’s here.”Chicago (47-77) could use the lift as a disappointing season approaches its final month. Kopech projects as a mainstay in the starting rotation for years to come alongside fellow young arms Carlos Rodon, Lopez, Lucas Giolito and others on the way.Meanwhile, Minnesota (59-65) will try to take advantage of the rookie’s first day in the majors.Twins right-hander Jose Berrios — a top young arm in his own right — will make his 26th start of the season. The 24-year-old Puerto Rican is 11-8 with a 3.75 ERA with 157 strikeouts in 153 2/3 innings. He is looking to go deep into the game after failing to make it five innings in each of his past two starts.“We’ll do a little due diligence,” Twins manager Paul Molitor told the Minneapolis Star Tribune after Berrios’ last outing. “We all know how hard he works and how he crushes it between starts. … It could be just a matter of [url=http://www.piratesfanproshop.com/authentic-jameson-taillon-jersey]http:/... , he’s not feeling quite right — not physically, but whether his arm is trailing. Some mechanical things can get out of whack over the course of the season.”Berrios has shined against the White Sox throughout his career. In seven starts, he is 6-1 with a 2.28 ERA. He has walked 10 batters while striking out 54 in 47 1/3 innings.White Sox manager Rick Renteria could return to the dugout one day after he was hospitalized for feeling light-headed before Monday’s game in Minnesota. Renteria was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center for precautionary reasons. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Manny Machado caught his wife’s first pitch before the game and hit a three-run homer to notch the first 100 RBI season of his career.“It can’t get any better than this,” Machado said.Except maybe reaching the World Series and winning.The Dodgers‘ 7-2 victory over the San Diego Padres kept their NL West lead at 1 ½ games over Colorado, which won 5-1 at Arizona.Machado had been eager for a memorable moment since being traded to the Dodgers on July 18 from Baltimore.He borrowed a page from a popular script: homering on his bobblehead night.“We fed off that,” manager Dave Roberts said. “He’s trying like heck and he wants that signature moment. Hopefully tonight alleviated some of the pressure for him.” Machado’s homer was one of three by the Dodgers in the game, giving them a National League-leading 222 on the season and breaking the club record of 221 set last year.“We have great hitters here,” Machado said. “We’re all confident. We know the team we have.” Rich Hill became the Dodgers’ first 10-game winner, allowing one run and four hits in seven innings. The left-hander struck out seven and walked none.Hill (10-5) has been stellar since the All-Star break with an 8-1 record. In his 12 second-half starts [url=http://www.padresfanproshop.com/authentic-brad-hand-jersey]Brad Hand Jersey[/url] , the Dodgers are 9-3.“I’m just excited we won and we’re keeping pace here,” Hill said.Machado caught a nice toss from his wife Yainee Alonso, whose brother is Indians first baseman Yonder Alonso.“I think she’s got the best (arm) in the family,” Machado said.Then reminiscent of Manny Ramirez (2009) and Yasiel Puig (2015) homering on their bobblehead nights, Machado launched his 36th long ball of the season to right-center on the first pitch from rookie Jacob Nix (2-4). Machado had 24 homers with Baltimore before being traded on July 18.Fans responded with chants of “Manny! Manny!”The Dodgers batted around in the third, when Justin Turner doubled down the left-field line to drive in a pair of runs. Machado’s shot scored Turner and Max Muncy, who was hit by Nix, giving the Dodgers a 6-0 lead. Yasmani Grandal hit his 24th homer off Brad Wieck in the sixth and Joc Pederson went deep in the first for his seventh leadoff homer of the season.San Diego’s first run came on Hunter Renfroe’s 25th homer with two outs in the sixth, leaving him one shy of tying his career high set last year.The Dodgers’ bullpen struggled in the ninth.After getting a quick out [url=http://www.padresfanproshop.com/authentic-chase-headley-jersey]http://ww... , Yimi Garcia allowed a double to Austin Hedges. Tony Cingrani came on and hit Eric Hosmer before giving up a single to Wil Myers that loaded the bases. Manuel Margot followed with an RBI single.That forced Roberts to bring in closer Kenley Jansen, who struck out the final two batters to earn his 37th save.“I didn’t expect to use him,” Roberts said.Nix gave up a career-high-tying six runs and six hits in 2 1/3 innings. He struck out two and walked none.“Made the mistake to Machado and the mistake to Cody Bellinger, and I paid for it,” he said.LASORDA’S BIRTHDAYHall of Fame manager Tom Lasorda turned 91 on Saturday, and the sellout crowd of 53,536 cheered him when he was shown on the videoboard. He’s in his record 69th season with the Dodgers, the longest tenure anyone has had with the franchise in Brooklyn and Los Angeles. Lasorda led the club to World Series titles in 1981 and ’88.FAN ON FIELDA man ran onto the field from the third-base side in the middle of the eighth inning. He reached center field, where he was quickly tackled by about nine security personnel. They removed him through the center field gate.UP NEXTLHP Joey Lucchesi (8-8 [url=http://www.padresfanproshop.com/authentic-tyson-ross-jersey]Tyson Ross Jersey[/url] , 3.74 ERA) goes for the Padres in the series finale. The third straight rookie to start in the series, Lucchesi is 0-2 with a 5.00 ERA in two starts against LA. LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu (5-3, 2.18) starts the Dodgers’ last home game before they end the regular season on the road. Ryu has given up three earned runs in 11 2/3 innings of two starts against the Padres.
