The A's scored on a balk and a theft of home to defeat the White Sox, 2-0, with Brian Kingman gaining the decision in a duel with Britt Burns. Mike Heath singled in the sixth inning and Jeff Cox beat out an infield hit. Dave McKay sacrificed. After Rob Picciolo went out, Rickey Henderson walked to load the bases. Burns then balked, allowing Heath to score, and on his next pitch Cox stole home.
