In a recent game held in Chicago, rookie pitcher Brady Basso achieved his first major league victory, leading the Oakland Athletics to a 2-0 win over the Chicago White Sox. Basso delivered an impressive performance, allowing only five hits and striking out two batters over 5 1/3 innings. This win marked a significant moment for Basso, who had previously pitched six scoreless innings in a no-decision against Detroit. The White Sox struggled offensively, managing just six hits and suffering their 16th consecutive home loss. This defeat contributed to their ongoing woes, as they faced their 18th shutout of the season. With a dismal record of 33-115, the team is on the verge of breaking the post-1900 record for losses, which stands at 120, set by the 1962 New York Mets. Zack Gelof and Brent Rooker were instrumental in the A's scoring, with Gelof hitting an RBI double and Rooker contributing a run-scoring single. The Athletics have shown some improvement, winning three of their last four games. Meanwhile, the White Sox's Garrett Crochet, despite a solid performance, continues to struggle, remaining winless in his last 16 starts. In terms of team updates, the Athletics welcomed first baseman Tyler Soderstrom back to the roster, while the White Sox placed pitcher Matt Foster on the 15-day injured list due to a herniated disc. The upcoming matchup features Oakland's J.T. Ginn facing Chicago's Chris Flexen, who is enduring a lengthy winless streak.
