He’s going to put the ball on the ground against righties and [Houser's] got some different ways to get lefties out,” manager Will Venable said. “Excited to add him to the mix.”

Houser only gave up one hit the first time through the Seattle lineup, and went 1-2-3 in the second, where he also earned his first strikeout with Chicago, ringing up Leody Taveras to end the frame. Houser nearly sat the M’s down in order again in the third, but walked JP Crawford before getting the final out of the inning.

The White Sox signed right-hander Adrian Houser to a one-year contract ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Mariners. He pitched six shutout innings with just two hits allowed in a 1-0 victory.
