The stay in the big leagues might not be long for Chase Silseth, but no one will be able to say he didn’t capitalize on his chance to shine.
The former Arizona Wildcats pitcher threw six shutout innings in his Major League debut on Friday night, picking up the victory in the Los Angeles Angels’ 2-0 win at Oakland. The 21-year-old right-hander, who was promoted from Double-A before the game, allowed one hit and walked two with four strikeouts, throwing 81 pitches with 52 for strikes.
“I’m still speechless,” Silseth said after the game, per Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register.
