The A's scored one run on a double-play grounder with the bases loaded, another on a sacrifice fly with the sacks filled and the final tally on a wild pitch to defeat the White Sox, 3-1. Mario Guerrero hit into the twin killing in the second inning, Tony Armas scoring to tie the game at 1-1. In the fifth after two walks and a bunt single by Rickey Henderson, Jeff Newman hit the deciding sacrifice fly. [The Sporting News]
