The Oakland A’s bats went dormant once again, leaving the team in a must-win situation on Wednesday.

The story of the afternoon was Lucas Giolito and there was no doubt from the start. The young right handed pitcher dominated the Oakland A’s in a convincing 4-1 win on Tuesday afternoon.

Oakland and Chicago have been two teams powered by the home run throughout the 2020 season and in the first game of a three game series, the White Sox came out ahead in that category.
