 Lucas Giolito went 6.0 perfect innings in Game 1 before Tommy La Stella broke it up with a single in the seventh inning. He's the fifth MLB pitcher to be perfect through six innings of a playoff game and the first since Mike Mussina in Game 1 of the 2004 ALCS against the Red Sox.

 Game 1 was Chicago's first win in the postseason since Game 3 of the 2008 ALDS against the Rays. The win over Jesus Luzardo helped the Sox improve to 15-0 this year when facing a left-handed starting pitcher -- the only team without a loss in such games this season.

 The Game 1 loss extends Oakland's postseason losing streak to six games dating back to the 2013 ALDS against the Tigers. The Athletics have not won a Game 1 of a postseason series since 2006 against the Twins, a game that featured starters Barry Zito and Johan Santana.

 Tim Anderson went 3-for-4 yesterday, becoming the first Sox player with three hits in his first career postseason game since Rudy Law had three hits in Game 1 of the 1983 ALCS. It was his 10th game with at least three hits this season, most in MLB.

 Chris Bassitt's 2.29 ERA this year was the lowest by a qualified A's pitcher since Catfish Hunter had a 2.04 ERA in 1972. Bassitt, who was drafted by the White Sox but went to the A's in a trade involving Marcus Semien and Jeff Samardzija, was the AL Pitcher of the Month in September after allowing just one earned run in 26.2 innings (0.34 ERA).

 Jose Abreu hit a two-run home run in Game 1, moving his season total to 62 RBI in 61 games. Including the postseason, the last qualified hitter with more RBI than games played in a season was Manny Ramirez in 2000 (122 RBI in 118 games).

The Chicago White Sox get an opportunity to continue the Oakland Athletics' postseason woes and send the American League West champs into another early offseason Wednesday afternoon when the clubs continue their first-round playoff series with Game 2.
Two low-ERA starters -- Chicago left-hander Dallas Keuchel (6-2, 1.99) and Oakland righty Chris Bassitt (5-2, 2.29) -- are scheduled to get the ball in a series that got off to a low-scoring start Tuesday, thanks mostly to White Sox ace Lucas Giolito.

White Sox poised to deal A's another early exit

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)  Oakland's long-reliable regulars Marcus Semien and Khris Davis powered a couple of home runs, Mark Canha made a game-saving catch against the wall and red-hot right-hander Chris Bassitt delivered the start of his life.
Now, the slugging A's are right back in a familiar fall position: one winner-take-all postseason game with the season on the line.
