White Sox Begin 2025 Season with Dominant Opening Day Victory

Sean Burke's stellar pitching and a cohesive team effort propel Chicago to an 8-1 win over the Angels, marking a fresh start under new manager Will Venable.

Sean Burke delivered six scoreless innings, retiring 14 consecutive batters in his first Opening Day start for the White Sox.
Andrew Benintendi, Lenyn Sosa, and Austin Slater each hit home runs, contributing to Chicago's eight-run offensive performance.
Will Venable secured his first win as White Sox manager, beginning his tenure with a promising result after last year's record-setting 41-121 season.
Mike Clevinger played a pivotal role in the eighth inning, escaping a bases-loaded jam to preserve the team's lead.
The victory marks the first time the White Sox are above .500 since the 2023 season opener, symbolizing a clean slate for the franchise.
