Oakland Athletics at Chicago White Sox
· Major League Baseball3 - 4
White Sox win back-to-back games for first time in nearly 3 months, beat Athletics 4-3
A day after scoring in the ninth to win 7-6 and stop a 16-game home losing streak, the White Sox took a 3-0 first-inning lead and strung together wins for the first time since three in a row against Atlanta and Colorado from June 27-29. Chicago hadn't won a series since taking two of three from the Rockies.
Chicago is 35-115 with 12 games left and is trying to avoid the post-1900 record of 120 losses by the 1962 expansion New York Mets. The White Sox are 20-58 at home, one shy of the post-1900 mark for home losses shared by the 1939 St. Louis Browns and 2019 Detroit Tigers.
Sean Burke (1-0) allowed two runs and five in five innings. The 24-year-old right-hander, making his first big league start and second appearance, struck out five and walked two.
Ramos and Lenyn Sosa had two hits apiece for the White Sox.
Brent Rooker and Shea Langeliers homered for the Athletics (65-85). JJ Bleday and Nick Allen each had two hits.
JP Sears (11-11) gave up four runs and seven hits in six innings.
Andrew Vaughn's RBI single and Sheets' two-run homer built the early lead. Sheets has 10 homers after going deep in consecutive games.
Rooker hit his 37th homer, a two-run drive in the fifth, but Ramos boosted the lead with his sixth-inning homer.
Pinch hitter Shea Langeliers homered with two outs in the ninth off Fraser Ellard, his 26th. Nick Allen then flied out, giving Ellard his first big league save.
