Mandatory Credit: Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sean Burke\u2019s first outing against the Milwaukee Brewers didn\u2019t go well. He allowed seven hits, four runs (three earned), walked one, and struck out five in 4.0 innings. However, Burke showed some growth pitching against the Blue Jays. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Burke told reporters postgame that he\u2019s \u201ctrying to stay on my plan.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI think it&#8217;s been big,\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/chsn_whitesox\/status\/2040186268437369300?s=46\"><span class=\"s2\"> Burke said to the media postgame<\/span><\/a>. \u201cI think that this year, just trying to stay on my plan and continuing to attack hitters and not let a couple hits or whatever it might be rattle me, and just trying to continue to flood the zone and make good pitches every single time out, I think the focus component, just being super, super focused on what I want to do with each pitch, and just being intentful behind it has been helpful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The 26-year-old threw six strong innings, allowing one run (earned), walking none, and striking out seven. Burke pitched behind right-hander Grant Taylor, who was the opener.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"> Right-handers Jordan Leasure and Seranthony Dominguez and left-hander Sean Newcomb also pitched well following Burke. Combined, all three went 3.0 innings, allowing three hits, two earned runs (three total), walked one, and struck out three.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/team\/schedule\/_\/name\/chw\/chicago-white-sox\"><span class=\"s2\">ESPN<\/span><\/a>, Taylor is the probable pitcher for Game 2 on Saturday. Left-hander Anthony Kay will likely be the \u201cbulk\u201d guy. Kay is also coming off a tough outing against the Brewers \u2014 Kay went 4.2 innings, allowing three hits, two earned runs, four walks, and struck out five on 92 pitches.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_163948\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-163948\" style=\"width: 788px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-163948\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/USATSI_28650773-900x600.jpg\" alt=\"Chicago White Sox, Grant Taylor \" width=\"788\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/USATSI_28650773-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/USATSI_28650773-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/USATSI_28650773-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/USATSI_28650773-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/USATSI_28650773-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/USATSI_28650773-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/USATSI_28650773-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-163948\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Apr 3, 2026; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Grant Taylor (31) delivers a pitch against the Toronto Blue Jays during the first inning at Rate Field.
