Rookie Brady Basso pitched five-hit ball into the sixth inning in his first major league win, and the Oakland Athletics handed the White Sox their 16th consecutive home loss with a 2-0 victory on Friday night.

Chicago was shut out for the 18th time, finishing with six hits. At 33-115, the White Sox are approaching the post-1900 record for losses — 120 by the 1962 New York Mets in their inaugural season.

Basso (1-0) struck out two and walked one in 5 1/3 innings in his second major league start and fifth appearance overall. He pitched six scoreless innings in a no-decision against Detroit in his previous outing last week.

Basso, a 26-year-old left-hander, has been sharp since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sept. 5 for his fourth stint with the A’s.

“It’s just been a blast, a dream come true,” said Basso, whose parents and wife, Sarah, were in the stands Friday. “I was just commanding the baseball and letting all my guys make plays.

“I’ve been able to keep (the ball) on the edges a little better. Early on, I got in trouble leaving balls over the plate.”

Oakland manager Mark Kotsay has been impressed Basso’s progress.

“He just keeps hitters off balance with the change of speeds and he’s done a nice job with that,” Kotsay said. “He’s had a nice year down in the minor leagues and he’s getting this opportunity to kind of showcase going into next season.”

Zack Gelof hit an RBI double, and Brent Rooker added a run-scoring single. The A’s won for the third time in four games.

Michel Otañez relieved Basso after Bryan Ramos reached on a leadoff walk and Andrew Benintendi singled with one out in the sixth. Tyler Ferguson followed with a 1-2-3 eighth, and Mason Miller worked around a single in the ninth for his 25th save.
