Game # 140: A’s drop another to White Sox, fall 10-2
Oakland dropped their fifth straight game on Saturday afternoon, losing to the Chicago White Sox by a final of 10-2.
The A’s got another short start from a rookie starting pitcher while the bats went quiet yet again, collecting just three hits and a walk to go with their two runs against 20 hits and 10 runs. Sigh.
Chicago struck first against A’s starter Adrian Martinez. Following a shaky opening frame, Martinez allowed a double, steal, and RBI single for the game’s first run. Another single put two on for former A’s shortstop Elvis Andrus, who of course crushed a 3-run bomb against his former club. Very quickly it was a 4-run deficit.
