The Athletics survived a late rally from the White Sox on Friday night, holding off Chicago to win 6-5 and take the first game of the series.
Righty Luis Severino got the call to start tonight’s game. Making his sixth start of the season Severino was dealing early on, striking out the side in the top of the first and setting the first six batters down. Through the first four innings the veteran only yielded one hit and one walk, dominating the White Sox through the first half of the game.
Meanwhile on the other side of things Chicago made a late change to their pitching plans.
