OAKLAND, Calif. — Oakland Athletics rookie right-hander Daniel Gossett won’t soon forget his first career start against the Chicago White Sox.
Gossett allowed two unearned runs over six innings on June 24 at Guaranteed Rate Field, earned his first major league victory and celebrated as fellow rookies Matt Olson, Franklin Barreto and Jaycob Brugman each hit their first big league home runs in a 10-2 win.
Gossett will face the White Sox again on Tuesday afternoon, this time at the Oakland Coliseum, in a rematch against right-hander James Shields.
“I was selfishly happy for me for the run support, but equally as happy for those other guys, maybe more happy for them because that’s a huge milestone for them to get,” Gossett said Monday before Chicago’s 7-2 win in the series opener.
