A three-run outburst in first inning triggered A's to 7-4 victory over White Sox. First frame was capped by two-run single by Duncan and after Sox tied score, RBI single by Revering put A's ahead, 4-3, in fifth frame. A's added two runs in seventh on RBI single by Burke and throwing error by Sox catcher Colbern. Final tally came in ninth on solo homer by Horton.
