White Sox's Zack Collins: Makes first career start

Collins started at desginated hitter and went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Friday's 5-4 win over the Rangers.

Collins, who was making his first career start in MLB, erased an early 2-0 deficit with the homer on his first at-bat in the majors. It was his first official at-bat after he walked as a pinch hitter against the Cubs on Wednesday. Those first two plate appearances are fitting, as Collins has exhibited pop in his bat when not displaying an impeccable eye at the plate in the minors. The young catcher is up with the White Sox while Welington Castillo (oblique) is unavailable. Collins is expected to make his first start at catcher in one of the weekend games in Texas, per Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times.
