He has also made six starts for Double-A Midland and has 16 appearances, including 12 starts, with Las Vegas. The 26-year-old left-hander has combined for a 5-4 record, a 4.55 ERA and .781 opponents OPS in 22 games, including 18 starts, overall in the minors. Basso ranks fourth in the A’s farm system in strikeouts (109) and has walked just 25 for a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 4.36.
