A single by Jim Essian scored pinch-runner Mike Edwards in the 10th inning and brought the A's a 4-3 victory over the White Sox, who lost their sixth straight game. The A's first three runs came on homers. Dave Revering rapped a solo drive in the second and Mitchell Page hit for the circuit with a man on base in the sixth to put the A's in front, 3-2.
