A’s clobber White Sox with 7-run first inning

OAKLAND — Franklin Barreto’s three-run homer capped a seven-run first inning and the A’s cruised to a 13-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox.

The A’s (52-41) have homered in 14 consecutive games, their season high.

Matt Chapman went 3-for-4 with two doubles, including one that plated Matt Olson in the first. Olson went 2-for-4 with an RBI in a four-run fourth inning.

The Matts were stellar, but production came from the entire lineup. Chris Herrmann, Robbie Grossman, Khris Davis and Mark Canha plated runs with everyone in the starting lineup, except Ramon Laureano, collecting hits.
