White Sox hammer Angels in lopsided Opening Day win

  • On March 27, 2025, the Chicago White Sox, managed by Will Venable, defeated the Los Angeles Angels 8-1 in the Opening Day game at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago, Illinois.
  • Hoping for a better season after a major league record of 121 losses last year, the White Sox saw rookie right-hander Sean Burke outpitch Yusei Kikuchi, who signed a $63 million contract for three years with the Angels.
  • Burke, in his first Opening Day start and only having appeared in four games in September, pitched six scoreless innings, retiring the final 14 Angels he faced, while Kikuchi pitched six innings and allowed three runs.
  • The White Sox offense was powered by home runs from Austin Slater, Andrew Benintendi, and Lenyn Sosa, contributing to the team's 9 hits compared to the Angels' 5, while Logan O'Hoppe homered for the Angels to avoid a shutout.
  • Despite being hit on the hand by a pitch in his first plate appearance, Angels right fielder Mike Trout remained in the game, going 0-for-2 with a walk, as Los Angeles lost their opening day game, marking their 11th loss in the last 12 opening days.
