CHICAGO — Rookie Franklin Barreto went 2-for-5 and scored a game-tying run in his second big league start as the A’s rallied for a 5-3 victory and a three-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox on Sunday.
Barreto, called up Friday from Triple-A Nashville, led off the eighth inning with a single to left off Chicago reliever Tommy Kahnle and tied the game at 2-2 when he scored on Khris Davis’ base hit to left.
Yonder Alonso then lined reliever David Robertson’s first pitch into the left-field corner to drive in Healy for the go-ahead run.
The A’s added two ninth innings runs on solo homers from Adam Rosales (fourth) and Matt Joyce (10th), the fourth time this season the A’s have hit back-to-back home runs.
