A seven-run lead proved insufficient for the White Sox, who folded and lost to the Athletics, 9-8, with the deciding tally scoring on an error by John Matias in the eighth inning. Ed Herrmann homered with two men on base in the first when the White Sox jumped off with six runs. A two-run homer by Carlos May in the fourth padded the lead to 8-1.
