Ferguson (4-2) got the win against the Cubs on Wednesday, firing a scoreless seventh inning during which he issued a walk.

Ferguson threw only three of his 10 pitches for strikes, but he was able to get through the seventh frame unscathed and then saw the Athletics snap a 3-3 tie in the eighth to make him the pitcher of record. Ferguson has now strung together four consecutive scoreless appearances after a rocky early-September stretch during which he surrendered five runs (four earned) across 3.1 innings over four appearances.
