Ober (7-5) took the loss Sunday against the White Sox, allowing one run on four hits and three walks while striking out six across 4.1 innings.
Ober has now gone eight starts without a win. After four scoreless frames, the right-hander gave up an RBI single to Munetaka Murakami to give the White Sox a 1-0 lead they never squandered. Ober needed 84 pitches (50 strikes) to record just 13 outs, his second-shortest start during a winless stretch in which he's gone 0-2 with a 4.20 ERA and 27:13 K:BB in 40.2 innings. He'll be on the lookout for more run support in his next scheduled start against Cleveland.
