A wild throw by catcher Wayne Nordhagen, attempting to cut off a base thief, enabled the Athletics to score the deciding run in a 3-2 victory over the White Sox. Manny Sanguillen drove in the A's first run with a single in the sixth inning and accounted for the second marker with another single in the eighth. After taking second base on the throw to the plate, Sanguillen gave way to pinch-runner Matt Alexander, who stole third and came home on Nordhagen's error.
