In a disappointing series finale, the Oakland Athletics lost to the Chicago White Sox with a score of 7-4. The White Sox quickly established dominance, scoring four runs in the first two innings, including home runs from Derek Hill and Munetaka Murakami. Darell Hernaiz's first homer of the season brought the A's to 4-1, but the White Sox responded with more runs, including a two-run shot from Murakami in the fifth inning. The A's managed to rally in the seventh with Zack Gelof's bases-clearing triple, bringing the score to 7-4. Despite a late-game effort, including a walk and a hit-by-pitch in the ninth, the A's could not capitalize, ending the game with Jacob Wilson popping out. With this loss, the A's record stands at 11-11, and they will now face the Seattle Mariners in their next series.
