Steve McCatty pitched a two-hitter and Tony Armas hit his 35th homer as the A's breezed past the White Sox, 7-1. The A's tallied three markers in the second inning, one on a double by Jeff Newman and two on a homer by Jim Essian. In the third, Armas followed a walk to Mike Heath with his round-tripper.
