CHICAGO — Oakland pitcher Chris Bassitt was carted off the field Tuesday night after he was struck on the side of his head by a line drive, casting a shadow over the Athletics’ 9-0 loss to Jose Abreu and the Chicago White Sox.
With two on and no outs in the second inning, Bassitt threw an 89.5 mph cut fastball that Brian Goodwin drove up the middle. Bassitt went down on the mound right after he was hit, holding his head, and his teammates quickly waved to the dugout for assistance.
As players on each side looked on, Bassitt was attended to by an Oakland trainer and other personnel before he was helped into a cart while holding a towel to his face. A’s outfielder Starling Marte had his hands on his head as the righthander was driven by him.
The team said Bassitt, 32, was “conscious and aware,” and was taken to a hospital.
Abreu and Jake Lamb each hit a three-run homer for the AL Central-leading White Sox, who improved to 11-11 against the AL West this year.
Oakland’s loss and the New York Yankees’ doubleheader sweep against the Red Sox created a crowded picture at the top of the AL wild-card standings. The A’s and Yankees are 68-52, followed by the Red Sox with a 69-53 record.
YANKEES SWEEP RED SOX: Luis Gil posted his third straight scoreless start to begin his career, Luke Voit and Giancarlo Stanton homered, and New York beat Boston 2-0 to sweep a doubleheader at Yankee Stadium and move percentage points ahead of the Red Sox for an AL wild-card spot. In the opener, Jonathan Loaisiga stranded the bases loaded in Boston’s final at-bat for a gutsy save after New York capitalized on a wild outing by Red Sox relievers for a 5-3 victory.
