The shutout pitching of Steve Trout in the first game and a two-run homer by pinch-hitter Greg Pryor with two out in the ninth inning of the second game enabled the White Sox to sweep a doubleheader with the A's, 2-0 and 5-4. Trout pitched a five-hitter. The White Sox snapped a string of 21 scoreless innings by posting both their runs in the first on a single by Thad Bosley, pass to Lamar Johnson and singles by Jim Morrison and Harold Baines.

The A's had homers by Rob Picciolo, Rickey Henderson and Dwayne Murphy in the nightcap and built up a 4-0 lead. The White Sox came back with circuit clouts by Todd Cruz, Bosley and Johnson to pull within one run before Cruz beat out an infield hit in the ninth and Pryor followed with his game-winning poke.
