CHICAGO — The A’s settled for a series split with the White Sox on Sunday, losing 10-3, but still left town with a Major League record.
Mark Canha’s home run in the fifth inning marked the 25th straight road game in which the A’s had homered, breaking the big league record of 24 shared with the 1996 Baltimore Orioles.
After Canha’s homer, Oakland right-hander Paul Blackburn gave up five runs in the bottom half. Blackburn (1-2) departed after allowing another in the sixth.
The A’s opened a 1-0 lead in the second inning as Canha’s sacrifice scored Matt Olson.
