Basso (1-0) was the pitcher of record in Friday's 2-0 win over White Sox, pitching 5.1 scoreless innings while yielding five hits and one walk. He struck out two.
Stepping into the rotation as a replacement for Osvaldo Bido (wrist), Basso made the most of the opportunity and secured his first big-league victory with a tidy 77-pitch performance. Basso worked around five singles as the Chicago lineup couldn't manage to get a runner past second base against him. The 26-year-old has performed well over his first 14.2 innings in the majors, pitching to a 1.23 ERA, 2.97 FIP, 0.89 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB. If Basso sticks in the Oakland rotation, he will line up to make his next start against the Cubs on the road next week.
