The right-hander found historic level of success in his debut, working six scoreless innings while allowing just one hit. He earned the win as the Angels took the series opener from the A's, 2-0.
 

Chase Silseth is just the second pitcher in franchise history to toss at least 6 innings and allow one hit during his Major League debut. He joins Rudy May who went nine innings, allowing one hit against the Tigers on April 18, 1965.
