Houser lowered his ERA to a razor-thin 1.90 across seven starts since joining the Sox, looking like a player who could net Chris Getz something at the trade deadline.

Adrian Houser pitched seven sharp innings and Andrew Benintendi homered in the sixth as the Chicago White Sox beat the San Francisco Giants 1-0.

There was even some good D by the Sox, starting with Austin Slater’s grab of a 104.9 mph shot by Jung Hoo Lee in the second: The Sox got two on in the second and then, when Ray got a little wild, started the third with a single by Vinny Capra and a walk by Chase Meidroth, but then went swinging bunt force out-K-foul out.
