Chicago White Sox' Lucas Giolito looked as if he was headed for another no-hitter in  Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series Tuesday at Oakland.

But, Giolito finished with a run on two hits. He walked one and struck out eight. The first hit came in the seventh when Tommy La Stella hit through the middle.

The main goal for the White Sox was the 4-1 victory over Oakland. The Sox finished with nine hits that included three home runs. Jose Abreu hit a two-run shot in the third while Adam Engel had a solo homer in the second and Yasmani Grandal a solo homer in the eighth.
