Game #139: Frankie Montas steps up again, leads A’s to victory

The Oakland A’s won a game!

The A’s lineup scored in four different innings, their starting pitcher provided seven strong frames, and their bullpen held on for a 5-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday at the Coliseum. Oakland snapped a four-game losing streak, and won for the seventh time in their last 22 contests.

Leading the way was Frankie Montas, who kept a powerful Chicago offense in check for seven innings. The White Sox put some runners on base in the early going but Montas induced three double plays in the first four frames, before a run finally squirted through during a short rally in the 5th.
