A pair of three-run innings propelled the A's to a 8-4 decision over the White Sox. Dave Revering got a leadoff homer in the fourth frame before a single by Mario Guerrero, double by Taylor Duncan and two-run single by Glenn Burke.

In the fifth inning, singles by Willie Horton, Revering and Guerrero produced one run. A throwing error by Greg Pryor allowed another run to score and Guerrero came in on a fielder's choice on the same play. [The Sporting News]
