Jeff Samardzija is not having the season the Chicago White Sox envisioned when they signed him this past offseason, with the pitcher posting a 1-5 record with a 6.03 ERA in his past six starts. The Sox will host the Oakland A’s, Samardzija’s former team, Tuesday.
‘The Shark’ has been a bad omen for the Sox when he takes to the bump at U.S. Cellular Field lately as the team has dropped Samardzija’s past six starts at home.
On the other side the Atheltics will send Aaron Brooks to the mound, who has a 1-3 record with a 5.32 ERA since being acquired and put into the rotation for Oakland on July 28.
