Joshua Palacios led off the game against Athletics starter Osvaldo Bido with his first home run this season.

Lawrence Butler led off with a single against White Sox opener Brandon Eisert and Brent Rooker followed with an RBI double to tie it after one.

Davis Martin pitched six shutout innings for the White Sox after relieving Eisert to begin the second, allowing three hits and two walks. Cam Booser and Steven Wilson both threw a scoreless inning.

Justin Sterner pitched a scoreless seventh for the Athletics and hasn’t allowed a run in 13 2/3 innings. Tyler Ferguson yielded a walk and nothing else in the eighth and Mason Miller struck out the side in the ninth.

Key moment

Matt Thaiss greeted Athletics reliever T.J. McFarland with a double after Andrew Vaughn chased Bido with a one-out single in the sixth. Vaughn was caught in a rundown and tagged out on Lenyn Sosa’s grounder with Thaiss advancing to third. Brooks Baldwin grounded out to end it.

Key stat

The Athletics had runners at first and third with one out in the third, but Martin struck out Shea Langeliers looking and Tyler Soderstrom swinging to end the threat. The Athletics didn’t have a runner in scoring position from there until the 10th.

Up next

The Athletics have not named Monday’s starter as they begin a seven-game road trip with the first of four against the Rangers. Texas will start LHP Patrick Corbin (2-0, 3.77).

RHP Bryse Wilson (0-0, 4.30) will start for the second time when the White Sox begin a six-game homestand on Tuesday with the first of three against the Brewers, who haven’t announced a starter.
