CHICAGO (AP) ¡ª A little rain cut short Michael Kopech¡¯s anticipated big league debut Tuesday night. Couldn¡¯t damper his spirits Christian Villanueva Jersey , though.Eddie Rosario led the Minnesota Twins to a 5-2 victory, but not before Kopech pitched two scoreless innings in a rain-shortened start and gave Chicago a glimpse of a potentially promising future.¡°It was a dream come true,¡± Kopech said. ¡°It was everything I thought about since I was a little kid. I was pumped.¡±The game was tied at 2 before Minnesota pushed across three runs in the ninth. Jake Cave was thrown out when he tried to score from second on Mitch Garver¡¯s pinch-hit single, but Dylan Covey (4-11) issued an intentional walk to Joe Mauer before Rosario greeted Jace Fry with a tiebreaking RBI single into center field.Jorge Polanco tacked on a two-run single as Minnesota won for the sixth time in eight games. Trevor May (2-0) pitched a scoreless inning for the victory, and Taylor Rogers got three outs for his second save.The 22-year-old Kopech, one of baseball¡¯s top pitching prospects, struck out four of the 10 batters he faced before a 52-minute rain delay. Luis Avilan came in for the White Sox when the game resumed.¡°I¡¯m a little bummed out,¡± Kopech said. ¡°I wanted to go a little deeper in the game. I didn¡¯t realize my pitch count (52) was as high as it was.¡±Kopech figures to have plenty of chances in the future.¡°It wasn¡¯t a tough decision. You worry more about the individual and the length of his career,¡± said bench coach Joe McEwing, who filled in for manager Rick Renteria the second straight night. ¡°It was nothing but positives for Michael Kopech tonight.¡±Leaning heavily on his blazing fastball, Kopech allowed three hits, hit a batter and walked none. The right-hander was acquired in the December 2016 trade that sent ace left-hander Chris Sale to the Boston Red Sox, and the White Sox are counting on him to be a prominent figure in their rebuilding project.Nicky Delmonico and Yoan Moncada homered for Chicago.Minnesota grabbed a 2-1 lead in the fourth. Logan Forsythe and Jake Cave singled off Avilan with one out. After Robbie Grossman¡¯s RBI single against Jeanmar Gomez, Cave scored during a rundown on which Grossman was tagged out on a steal attempt.Moncada tied it at 2 with a solo drive off Gabriel Moya in the seventh.Twins right-hander Jose Berrios allowed one run and four hits in five innings. He is winless in his last three starts.¡°There was a lot of energy here http://www.padresfanproshop.com/authentic-matt-szczur-jersey ,¡± Twins manager Paul Molitor said. ¡°The Sox fans are very well aware of (Kopech) and the future. I thought he handled it pretty well.¡±MORE TESTS FOR RENTERIARenteria will return to Chicago on Wednesday and undergo further testing, according to the team. The 56-year-old Renteria experienced lightheadedness and was hospitalized before Monday night¡¯s 8-5 victory over the Twins in Minnesota.¡°He sounds good,¡± said McEwing, who spoke with Renteria before Tuesday¡¯s game. ¡°He¡¯s a very tough individual.¡±AUSTIN IS SORRYTwins first baseman Tyler Austin apologized for his father¡¯s recent ¡°embarrassing¡± tweets criticizing New York Yankees first baseman Greg Bird. The Yankees opted to keep Bird instead of Austin, who was traded for pitcher Lance Lynn on July 30.TRAINER¡¯S ROOMTwins: RHP Ervin Santana (sore right middle finger) will undergo an MRI on Wednesday, but Molitor said ¡°it¡¯s becoming less likely he¡¯s going to play the rest of the season.¡± The organization has a $1 million buyout option on his $14 million contract for next season.White Sox: INF Jose Abreu underwent outpatient surgery on his lower abdomen after complaining of discomfort upon his arrival to the ballpark.

CHICAGO (AP) ¡ª The run-deficient Chicago Cubs were in a deficit from the start.Scott Schebler homered on the first pitch of the game and the Cincinnati Reds went on to beat the NL Central leaders 2-1 Sunday.Despite the defeat and the Cubs¡¯ recent offensive woes, their division lead stayed at 2 1/2 games over Milwaukee, which also lost.Chicago, seeking its third straight Central title, scored just five runs in the three-game series and has totaled 15 runs in its last seven games.¡°We have to do better than one run somehow,¡± Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. ¡°The three games, we were fortunate to win two. I¡¯ll take it. Whenever you win a series against a major league team Craig Stammen Jersey , you¡¯ll always take that.¡±Joey Votto had three hits for last-place Cincinnati, which stopped its three-game losing streak and Chicago¡¯s three-game winning streak.Luis Castillo (10-12) allowed one run, four hits and four walks in 6 2/3 innings, giving up Albert Almora Jr.¡¯s sacrifice fly in the fifth.Amir Garrett and Jared Hughes combined for four outs and Raisel Iglesias pitched the ninth for his 27th save in 31 chances, completing a five-hitter.¡°That¡¯s the best three or four days of pitching that we¡¯ve had,¡± Reds manager Jim Riggleman said.Jose Quintana (13-10) was bidding for what would have been a career-high 14th win. Schebler drove a 93 mph fastball into the bleachers just left of the batter¡¯s eye, and Phillip Ervin homered leading off the fourth.¡°I got a pretty good swing on a ball,¡± Schebler said. ¡°I¡¯m just trying to make contact in this place. Historically, I¡¯m pretty awful at Wrigley, so honestly, it was nice to but a barrel on a ball.¡±Chicago¡¯s Victor Caratini hit a sharper grounder down the line with runners on first and second in the bottom of the fourth. First base umpire Hunter Wendelstedt called the ball foul as he unsuccessfully tried to jump out of the way.Maddon wasn¡¯t so sure the ball was foul. The play isn¡¯t viewable, so he asked the umpires if they could get together and discuss it. They declined and the call stood.Garrett escaped second-and-third, two-out trouble in the seventh when he relieved and struck out Anthony Rizzo, who slammed his helmet.¡°Offense is peaks and valleys and you just ride it out  http://www.padresfanproshop.com/authentic-trevor-hoffman-jer sey ,¡± Cubs star Kris Bryant said. ¡°There have been plenty of times this year when the offense is great, and plenty of times when it wasn¡¯t. We just have to ride it out and hope that the next game is the one where we explode.¡±WATCHINGWillson Contreras doubled off the wall in center in the middle of the Cubs¡¯ fifth-inning rally, but drew Maddon¡¯s ire because he flipped his bat and stood watching the ball. He then had to bust it and dive head first into second base ¡ª and might have been out if the throw wasn¡¯t off line.¡°Horrible,¡± Maddon said. ¡°I didn¡¯t like that at all. That will be addressed.¡±Said Contreras: ¡°I thought it was gone. I hit it super good. What I did was not good for baseball, watching it. I embarrassed myself.¡±TRAINER¡¯S ROOMReds: RHP Robert Stephenson (shoulder tendinitis) is unlikely to be activated this season, according to Riggleman.
